Canned 12/11/25, drunk 1/20/26, as pictured.
Mild hop (wood, lemon, grapefruit) with a tasteful amount of not-very-resinous spruce. Christmasy spice with biscuity malts and overall inviting balance and aromatics.
Quite a bit more spruce comes through in the flavor, with a good deal of malt to balance. I will give them that they got a lot of flavor from the spruce with very low acidity. Some wood and citrus behind it gently adds to the picture from the hops and the malt is deep and attenuated. Well-done, tasteful.

16 oz. can. Aroma has bold citrus fruit with mild bready malt. Spruce is very soft in the aroma. But once you sip, no hiding this spruce. Does have a decent malt background with some citrus as a counter point. A very good spruce ale.

16oz can from Tavour. Thick, hazy orange/golden pour, initial foamy head fades to silky ring. Muted fruity aroma with notes of stone fruit and citrus, dank. Taste amps up quickly, big fruity flavors and a healthy dollop of citrus zest. Creamy,
