Can acquired in a trade. Not sure I would have purchased it in a store partially due to the unusual and (to me) unappealing brand name. Also a few of the prime ingredients such as spruce tips and spicebush were somewhat new to me with regard to their impact on the beer's taste. Then there's the collaboration with Jester King - highly regarded brewer but, in my experience, having a tendency towards funky-type beers that don't appeal to me. Thus, I approached the beer with some apprehension despite the fact I've been pleased with Tired Hands products in general.
Happily, my apprehension was totally unwarranted. From the first smell and then taste, I was turned into a fan of the product. Weird name notwithstanding, there was nothing weird or funky about the combination of spruce and citrus that made for a very enjoyable product. I'll probably never have a chance to consume another can but I feel fortunate to at least have made a trade for this one. Tired Hands wins once again.

Heavy pine on the nose. A nice corn yellow cloud on the pour. Waaaaayyyyy too much carbonation. The pallet is in the citrus area with a hint of pine. Goes down a little hard because of the amount of co2. Citra hop dominant but not overpowering. Good beer.

16 oz can. Pours hazy yellow, thick fluffy head with good retention and a little lace. Citrus peel aroma. Light cracker taste with plenty citrusy grassy hops, a touch of lemon. Medium soft mouthfeel with a zesty dry finish.
