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.

Pours gold with a one finger white head. It smells of resinous hops and mild malt. The flavor is moderately bitter with herbal, lightly piney hops and lightly bready malt. Pretty good.

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.

Very crisp and clear bright pink coloured body with a large, almost perfectly white (with a tint of light pink) coloured head, about four centimetres tall and very microfoamed, but leaving an ugly lace on the sides. Aroma of light raspberries, a dash of lemons, some oranges and a light kick of candy, with some softer malt and wheat componenets. Medium-bodied; Quite strong and rich malts show at first with a stronger, jammy, fruity sweetness towards the end that has a lot of residual sugars, but is very easy-drinking thanks to the sweetness. Aftertaste is very clean, with the jam, sugars, fruits and caster sugar flavours at the front with a softer wheat and nuanced not of hay at the end, but this is fresh fruity and very sweet throughout. Overall, a very nice, super fruity, surprisingly rich and pungent beer that is easy-drinking yet fairly complex. Great to sample, especially as a Michigander, during summer from my trip last year with my wife and three kids to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan - get this now if you are in the state somewhere! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Super One Foods in Marquette, Michigan for US$1,67 as part of a mixed six pack, on 05-August-2021, packaged on 12-April-2021 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 25-July-2022.

This dark ale poured a dark amber colour with a big, creamy, tan coloured head. Nice lacing. Scents include alcohol, ripe fruit, molasses and a hint of nail polish remover. First swig was smooth, creamy with a medium sweetness and a full body. Flavours of ripe fruit, warming alcohol, sweet roasted malt and toffee. Finish is lightly spicy with rich toasted malts heavily lingering.

Murky, cloudy medium orange body, medium dense cream head. Aroma sweet with melon, citrus, and berries. Body gummy and not particularly sweet with notes of pineapple, strawberry, melon, and papaya. Pleasant.
