Pours a lightly hazy, amber-gold, with smallish head. Aroma is bread, grass, straw, pine. Flavors follow, with some citrus. Smooth mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.

12 oz bottle picked up at Total Wine for just a couple bucks. Already on board with this classic brewery, and a good, affordable double IPA. The spruce is just a bonus at this point. Has a bold caramel backbone, with some piney, resinous hops. Forest forward aroma. Cool spruce notes already left between overpowering and unnoticeable. Really well introduced here. Overall an incredible brew for the value when you want a big (but not too big) IPA, but don't want to think you've tried it a hundred times before.

Bottle. Another beer I had in Vegas. Deep amber color. Caramel malt aroma. Taste was more toasted malts than hops. Rather liked this beer even though not great.

0.65 l bottle shared at home. Pours black with beige head. Nose is-of course-smokey, with some sweetness. Taste is quite the same with long finish. I expected it to have more apparent porter notes, but it’s lovely nevertheless.

650ml bottle, 2009.
Aroma is nothing but smoke!! Sausages, soy and smokey bacon. Flavor is a mix of big smoke and loads of piney hops. The pine just covers your palate and the finish. Long dry bitter finish. Pretty nice stuff!!

Amber color with a tan head. Toasted bread and floral aroma. Taste is sweet caramel with a crisp, dry finish. Rich with a little hop bitterness and a hint of wood.
