Flavor is mainly pine and spruce, with a definite spicy quality to it. Nicely balanced with an almost nutty maltiness. Nice smooth, full mouth feel.

Aug 10, 2005 Had this at the Flour City Brew Fest. Smelled like hops. Taste like too many hops for me. Even though the name should have warned me away, I just had to try all the beers at the Fest.

Aug 7, 2005 Had at the Rohrbach’s summer beer festival. Very clear yellow. Decent head. Real hoppy through and through, no aroma but for hop flowers. All other reviews they this was brown. But I have written that mine was clear and yellow.

Oct 29, 2004 Brown in color with a cream colored head. Decent aroma, some spicy hops along with some earthy malts. Flavor is pretty well balanced with the malt and hops, not very hoppy though. Medium bodied, shorter finish. It was a decent beer, but for a beer whose name stresses hops, it doesn’t deliver on that front.

Oct 28, 2004 Draft at Custom Brewcrafters. Brown in color with a soapy white head. Aroma was a spicy hop. The flavor was pretty much hops with a little bit of that spice (pepper sounds right) in there as well. At first I thought it was too hoppy but it really mellows out after a sip or two. Good seasonal stuff.
