Jun 21, 2006 Interesting, with a but of a fruity eucalyptus nose. Very earthy, with some mineral flavors, butterscotch, some spices and dry vegetal flavors, with some very light but very true pine and spruce earthiness. Definitely unique.

Jun 21, 2006 Very sort of menthol taste and aroma takes a little getting used to, plain cola looking body without any sort of head.
Medium body, interesting and certainly worth trying.

Jun 12, 2006 Pine? Didn’t seem like much of it, but it had a great flavor that I can’t pinpoint, Sweet, with spice, almost like a christmas ale, but sweeter, maybe an candi sugar/liqourice flavor, good, but a little too sweet.

Jun 11, 2006 Hazy amber colour, decent bubbly head. Oak, soy sauce, pine, mushrooms and earth in aroma. Flavour is slight vinous, sweet & spicy with some wood-ish hints. Some sweetened liquorice is present. Bitter and somewhat acidic finish.

Jun 11, 2006 Ok, this one was odd, indeed. I almost feel guilty for giving it high marks in any category, but for what they were trying to do, they did it pretty nicely. The pour was amber orange with over an inch of head and great lacing. The head sustained itself quite nicely. Aroma was mostly spicey with some light pine and fruits. The flavor was outstanding FOR WHAT IT CLAIMED TO BE, much more pleasant than the pine from outrageous amounts of American hops, anyway (oooo, scorn me all you IPA purists, I don’t care). Spruce and pine were nicely done and really made this one fun for novelty purposes. Some berry type flavors in the background. That being said, this isn’t one I’d just go drinking any old day. This is a beer you do for the experience.

May 28, 2006 I would be satisfied with just smelling this beer - drinking it is an added bonus! Fruity on the nose, despite a fast-disappearing head. Very earthy tones that went down smooth. A must try in my book.

May 25, 2006 0,33l bottle. Small white head which disappears quickly. Copper-ruby colour and an incredibly sweet, malty, burned aroma. The pine can clearly be tasted and reminds me of Finnish pine-aroma sauna. The aftertaste is fresh and dry. Truly one of the more spectalular beer experiences.
