Oct 3, 2004 brown fogged body with a white head, tart fruit / malt aroma, sweet taste with slight alc flavor, malty flavor with woody and smokey notes, citrus, tangy finish is the the only displeasing aspect I can notice, i can appreciate this attempt and it seems like a good idea for an ale, but its not quite there yet

Jul 27, 2004 RBSG 2004: Cloudy orange with a thin white head. HUGE spruce/resin aroma. Starts and end sweet in a pine sort of way. Medium bodied. If you like chewing on spruce trees, you’ll be sure to like this beer.

Jul 23, 2004 Dark orange, brown almost. Sweet spicy tree sap, apples, bread and spiced hops with some orange peel in the nose... maybe something resembling ginger too. Sweet everywhere, with a definite presence of the spruce... interesting, but with some unwanted nail-polish qualities.

Jul 22, 2004 this is a basic amber ale with a light spruce aroma and flavor. Definitely different and a pleasant change of pace

Jul 20, 2004 Deep amber with a little haze. Pretty nice texture; medium bodied and very smooth. Had a curious fruitiness about it (apple and maybe a little lemon). Kind of reminded me of Pez candy for some reason. Malts had a mild caramel sweetness, but they were very subdued, hidden behind a sweet ’n’ sour thing going on. Very mild bitterness from the small amount of bittering hops. Spruce tips made for an interesting ingredient.

Jul 20, 2004 Amber red with little head or lace. Sweet malts, bitter hops in the nose. Caramel, slightly sour. Some spruce hints. Flavor is a little dusty and sour. Bitter hops come through along with some caramel. Bitter, sprucey palate and a bitter finish.
