Feb 17, 2006 Beer pours a clear, dark, caramel-brown color with an average, frothy, tan, mostly and quickly diminishing head. The aroma is winning. Sweet with juicy notes of stone fruits, sherry, winter spices, vanilla and a trace of black tea. The flavor is moderately sweet, moderately bitter, with an average-length, lightly sweet, lightly acidic finish. The palate is nice: the body is medium-to-full, the texture is pure velvet, the carbonation is average and there’s a faint alcoholic feeling in the finish. I would seek this beer out again, for sure.

Feb 16, 2006 Bottle pours a dark amber with a light white head. A flowery aroma and mellow spicey flavor, dominated by malt. Medium-bodied, with an encroaching alcohol presence. A beer worth exploring a few times!

Feb 4, 2006 Copper-coloured with a small off-white head.Sweet and intensely spicy (pine?) aroma. Flavours are predominantly sweet caramel, and the pine adds bubblegum-like flavours. Moderately dry finish. Full-bodied. An very interesting ale.

Jan 31, 2006 Bottled. Nut brown colour with full, fluffy, tan brown head. Hoppy, pine needle aroma and flavour. Interesting blend of flavours I thought. More complex then your average brew with interesting, varied and long palate.

Jan 26, 2006 C’était très dure à boire, surtout à la température de la pièce, j’aurais du la boire froide. De plus, je n’aime pas déjà le bière d’épinette.

Jan 22, 2006 Not at all what I expected from a pine ale. The dominant flavor is raspberry which, unfortunately, I don’t like much. It’s sweet and fruity in the front with grape, strawberry, raisin and that strong raspberry. This sweetness is completely unchecked (due to the lack of hops) and has the potential to be syrupy and cloying. But, then the pine comes in and cleanses the palate with a refreshing, crisp flavor. Hops clearly do a better job of balancing malt than pine and spruce do. However, this dynamic of all malt at first, and then all pine is something I like. I’d love to try more beers like this. Perhaps with some hops in there, the pine could actually stand out more, which I would like to experience. I’m glad I tried this, although it’s not my favorite.
