Oct 8, 2006 Bottle:Cloudy reddish apple cider color with no head. Aromas of spicy bananas, spruce and sweet figs. The taste is initially off-putting, something resembling furniture polish and musty rubbing alcohol. But as you get used to it it grows on you and you don’t really notice much of spruce or pine, except maybe the sap from the enhds of the spruce needles. I also noticed hints of cola and peaty scotch. The body is full and creamy. Out of these traditional ales made by Williams Brothers, this one is definitely the best.

Oct 8, 2006 (33 cl bottle at Haket, Göteborg) Clear red brown color, creamy tan head. Sweet fruity and berry-like scent. Sweet taste, chocolate wild strawberry, nice as a dessert. Raises my interest to use pine and spruce in my own ales. MEdium bitterness. Sweet aftertaste.

Sep 29, 2006 Bottle. Pours copper/brown with a thin off-white head. Wow, the aroma is a total malt-festival. Caramel, toast, toffee, and milk chocolate all are very prevalent. Flavor is sugar sweet caramel with maple syrup, some dark fruit, and a mild pine finish.

Sep 24, 2006 12oz bottle from the mystery swap box! - Thanks! - Pours murky light brown with a short bubbly offwhite head that stays well and laces in layers.. Aroma is quite malty with caramel and toffee, just a hint of pine there but not too much. Flavor is good caramel, raisins, a touch of toffee, and some nuts, and light spice before the casual pine finish. Medium bodied without much carbonation and a lingering sweet aftertaste. Not bad at all.

Sep 15, 2006 Bottle: pours a murky brown and amber color with a small head. Aroma is malty with pine notes. Taste is a well rounded blend of pine, malt, raison, fruitiness, and even a bit nutty. Finishes with that nice little pine note. Well done pine flavor without an overwhelming sense of chewing on a pine needle!
