Cornfield (4262), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Jun 11, 2007 From the bottle this pours a dull copper body with lively carbonation and a short-lived ecru head. It smells of caramel with a splash of alcohol and a hint of pine. The pine increases in the flavor. The caramel sweetness and pine are joined by light toast and black pepper. The finish is a warm spiciness on the tongue with a piney coolness filling the mouth. Not bad.

bager (2028), Copenhagen N, Denmark Jul 22, 2008 Bottle thanks to Zack. Almost clear and golden in colour with a medium sized head. Interesting but a bit weird. Notes of malt, marmelade, spruce, spices, hops and berries. Theis (2041), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 27, 2008 Bottle at home - tasting. Clear golden - white head. Spicy, berries, knækbrød, dryness, high dryness, hoppy, sweetness, marmelade, raspberries, spruce...... a bit wierd. hittheroad (1), San Jose, California, USA does not count May 27, 2008 Initial flavour of sweet blueberries without a tart aftertaste. A bit of spruce evens out the flavour. The finish is hoppy in an inoffensive manner--good for those who like flavourful beer without a heavy hops taste. sunevdj (1384), Copenhagen, Denmark May 25, 2008 Pours a clear golden with a white head. Very dry and sweet. Aromas of blueberries without theis sourness. Lots of floral spruce aromas. Medium bodied. Dry floral finish. Dogbrick (2229), Columbus, Ohio, USA May 15, 2008 Sample in the Alaskan tap room. This brew pours a hazy, ruddy amber color with a medium thin light beige head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing. Aroma of pine, hops and fruit. Medium-bodied with a piney/spruce (prevents scurvy!) character, along with fresh fruit, hops and malt flavors. Touches of spice are present too. The finish is hoppy and malty with a fruit and spice aftertaste. Decent overall.
