This one pours a medium-dark reddish color, with a small head, and a little bit of lacing.

This smells strongly of berry, with some herbal, floral, and spicy funk, with the spruce tips a big part of the aroma.

This is an intriguing and unique take on a fruited wild ale. The spruce tips just add this weird and wild herbal funk to the beer, and it works really well with the berries here. There's a good bit of acidity, but it's tamped down by the other things.

This is medium bodied, mostly clean, and pretty drinkable.

Bissell Brothers quietly has a very nice barrel program.
