Opaque. Thin head. Ok a flux IPA with spruce is actually better, but it’s still layering a decent flavour over the usual ctrl v IPA.

Hazy and quite pale. Thick head. The aroma has a nice peach character and some floral notes. Medium tartness and lots of bright peach. Medium body, drinks well.

Pale, opaque. Thin head. It’s low on bitterness, a bit of citrusy fruit, light I7 in there.

Pale, slight haze. Big spruce character, on palate and aroma. But especially the palate. The base is solid, off-dry saison. The unsubtle adjunct is fine, maybe a bit much but that’s spruce for you. Again, off-dry finish and good body.

Opaque. Medium head. The usual Backcountry full body, moderate bitterness, light hop burn and pine accent with mild grapefruit. Not a ton of variance on Backcountry hazies but are any better than Widowmaker?
