This beer had a very nice sweet malt base and subtle hop aromas of pine needles. It poured with a slight chill haze and cloudiness that featured a light copper hue, very nice carbonation and a very long-lasting head. The beer was well balanced between malt and hops that had flavors of pine needles and slight fruity esters. The carbonation was moderate and it finished with a slight dryness. It finished with a subtle alcohol burn that was rather smooth and not too harsh.
