Thick, like maybe artificial chocolate syrup notes, some vanilla, wafer. It's okay, but that's about it.

Draft at Here's How. Black pour, a few bubbles, still. Boozy aroma, roasty, chocolate, fruity. Taste is pit fruit, plums, raisins, licorice with a latent boozy burn. Fades fast for the finish, but continues to burn brightly in the gullet

Hazy, thin head, soft body, low bitterness, not much in terms of pine, hop expression lower than I would expect for a beer of this name.

Draft at Hops & Bottles. Clear golden pour, short lived foamy white head. Hoppy aroma, light piney notes. Taste is mildly hoppy, not as strong as you'd think from the title, pine

473mL can. Pours murky dull blonde with a white head. Spicy saison yeast, citrus rinds, and bandaids on the nose. Flavour is quite tart, some citrus, peels, thick saison yeast, and some bandaids. More acidity on the finish. It's very thick and yeasty with not a whole lot of fresh hop character. Disappointing.

On tap at Ridgewood, pours a clear bright blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals bright piney hops, grassiness, juicy tropical fruits, and biscuity malt. Flavour has a herbaceous and grassy hop character, some woodiness, and crisp biscuity malt. Herbaceous and piney finish. Very good despite not being in love with the hop expression.

On tap at Ridgewood. Pours clear gold with a white head. Dank oils, fresh pine, doughy fresh hops on the nose. Flavour has lots of bitter pine and resins, soft doughy fresh hop character. Nicely done.
