Collaboration with Salmon River Brewery
Months in the planning, this process included foraging for FRESH, early summer growth of Douglas Fir, and Western Hemlock needle tips, at Ponderosa State Park. 13 pounds of tips were harvested, and added to the boil kettle. We selected Doug, and Western Hemlock tips, due to their more citrusy, vs piney component, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Enjoy a subtle citrus, and melon aroma and flavor, with a soft, but unmistakable "tree tip" flavor, on the front, and mid palate.

On tap at Woodland Empire. Slightly viscous medium amber body, mild hoppy aroma, bigger sharp hop bitterness in the taste. Beautiful pour, nice finish.

Mini-growler picked up tonight at the Woodland taproom.... Enjoyed from my PDX CBC Teku... Pours mostly clear light orange with a long lasting white head with fantastic lacing. Pretty nice standard citrus forward IPA ... Hints of dry toast/toasted biscuit maltiness.... Flavor has a fantastic PNW bitterness and the pine is soft and a different kind of "citrus" if that makes sense... Glad they didn't go over the top with the pine/spruce tips, a lot of times that type of stuff comes across as a gimmick, this one nailed it pretty solid. I'll certainly be drinking this one again as long as it is available (perhaps even in McCall next weekend ;-)
