This IPA poured a medium amber colour with a soapy, bright white, minimal head. Scents include spruce, grass, light caramel and dough. First swig was very hoppy with flavours of caramel, toast, and full grown spruce trees. Finish is bitter with spruce sap lingering...

Poured from 330mL bottle. Clear copper brown with small off-white head. Vanilla, malt, toffee nose. Buttery vanilla cookie taste to start that transforms into mild hoppy taste. No finish. Fairly thin. Buy again? Maybe.

Bottle: Poured a clear dark copper color bock with a medium size foamy head with average retention and some light lacing. Aroma of light hazelnut and caramel malt with light medium sweet toffee notes is interesting. Taste is dominated by residual sugar with some medium caramel malt and toffee notes. Body is somewhat light for style with medium carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Overall, this fell a bit short of my expectation with not enough interesting ester and the residual sugar felt a bit flat.

Pours copper with light head. Light sugary aroma. Flavors of toffee and malt, and Xmas pudding. As stated, a bit thin but OK.
