This hazy brew smells of citrus and hop resin. The flavor is mildly bitter. Citrus hops and malty sweetness are there, but it’s on the watery and bland side, making for a mediocre beer that needs more going on.

I think it’s about 9% abv now. This one smells strongly of evergreens. The flavor is very hoppy with spruce and berries. Mmm… Xmas trees. It turns out that yes, I do want to drink a Xmas tree. Sort of. It’s very good and is certainly unusual.

Pours deep amber brown with a lingering head. It smells of caramel malt and spicy yeast. The flavor is sweet and caramelly, too one note until it warmed some and the Belgian yeast character came out more. Alright.

This one has a citrusy, hoppy aroma. It has that underwhelming session ipa malt profile that I’m not into. The hops are alright, moderately bitter at most. There’s citrus and it’s a bit herbal / spicy. Eh. Okay.

Canned 10/04/23, drunk 12/23/23. Clear bronze-amber. Small, off-white head, modest retention. Nose is lots of blue spruce but rounded out with smoke malts and citrus and piney hops. Would think it would be too much to add these highly bitter adjuncts to already bitter, dry, resinous hops, bit it mostly works. Soft malts, no big toastiness, thankfully. Spice of all sorts. Juicy spruce, even. Dry, bitter, pleasantly so, finish. Shockingly balanced though you have to love conifer tips. Low on cranberry and juniper, thankfully. Good malt depth and attenuation. Wouldn't want to drink more than 8 or 10oz, but it's very well-done for what it is.

Smells of raspberries and lemons. The flavor is tart and lightly sweet. The raspberries and lemons are pleasant and refreshing. I don’t smell or taste rosemary. It’s pretty good though.

Pours a hazy orange with a small white head. It has a fruity aroma with peach and watermelon. The flavor is sweet and fruity with some mild tartness. I got more watermelon than peach but they’re both there with the malt. Easy drinking.
