Crystal clear, beautiful amber and bright copper coloured body with a pretty soapy tan head, about two to three centimetres tall. Aroma of grass, light pine, flowers and yes, some spruce here, but the malt and sugars are noticeable too - in the nose, at least. Light to Medium-bodied; Crisp and grassy flavours dominate with some deep resinous bitterness here, along with a good malt backbone and some dryness, but the spruce somehow is the strongest, in a nice way, with a little sweetness on the end. Aftertaste is crisp, deep and pretty balanced, with the hops of course the strongest here, but the malt provides enough of a backbone; there is some mild sugars and the rich hoppy flavours, especially the dry and grassy, piney and sprucey flavours show strongest, as the name suggests! Overall, great to try, even a few weeks past the 'best by' date - this beer is nice for the style and overall - balanced throughout, still bitter, but showing nice richness and complexity here! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Total Wine in Altamonte Springs, Florida on 01-January-2023 for US$2,29 which made it into the store on 30-November-2022 with a 'best by' date of 11-March-2023 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 24-April-2023.
