Bottle thanks to Vin! Pours hazy golden yellow, small fizzy white head, dissipates pretty quickly, decent residual and lacing. Aroma is dust, Brett, lemon, and yes, Juniper. Flavor is very light tart, light plus funk, bright citrus, herbal punch. Medium body, spritz carbonation. Quite noice.

(Bottle shared by Quentin @ Luc's, Oct 19/19) Pours lightly hazed deep orange with an eggshell head. A truly unique and bizarre set of aromas and flavours, with clear spruce/fir/pine aromatics, juniper/cedar woodsiness, sweetish malt core with caramel and spicy rye, but also prominent acidic citrus bite, vinous woodiness, spicebox elements, intense herbal coniferous slightly astringent finish. Medium bodied, oily. Wow, what an experience, unlike even any other spruce beer I've had. I can see why this is divisive, and I was a little tipsy when I tried it, but I honestly thought it was great.

Bottle: Poured a pale-yellow color ale with a medium size white foamy head with light retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of apple notes with some sour notes and light spices is unique but enticing. Taste is also a mix of apple notes with some cider-like quality and woody notes with some light tartness and light spices and funky ester. Body is about average with medium carbonation. Unique experience and quite enjoyable with high level of complexity.

Bottle. Whole Foods Market, Burlington, VT. Faint haze on a pale gold. Slim white head stays the course. Nose has lime and lemon sumac. Sweet apple. Whiff of smoke. Some wheat. Taste is a little sweet to start, turning pretty dry overall. Clean and bright on the palate. Fine and crisp carbonation. Dry and clean finish. Decent enough, but lacks a bit of punch.

50cl bottle from CBC Waterbury, pours a hazy sepia, basically no head. Looks like iced tea. Mint is huge on the nose, black tea, lemon, salsify. Nose is wild, smells like no beer you've had. Flavor has some malt, some soggy bread, a little mushroom, but there's a nice a medicinal/herbal note running all the way through. Neutral barrel, but band aid is there now, no funk though, mint, basil seed, potpourri. Tastes a bit like kombucha, some maybe some ginger notes. Incredibly unique. 8 2 8 4 14
