Nose promises pine and this beer definitely delivers that, but the mouthfeel and finish are very well balanced making for a smooth not bitter finish. I'm very impressed with this and will be on the lookout for other offerings "from the barrel" the next time I'm in New Hampshire

Pours a hazy golden orange color with a pretty large head. Decent amount of lacing.
Smells pretty solid. Very citrusy and bright with a nice balance from the sweet, bready malt character.
The taste was, unflattering, to say the least. The bright citrus notes that were found on the nose are extremely subdued, and the malt character, while present, doesn't add much to the experience. It's bitter on the front end, sweet in the middle, and bitter as all hell on the back end. I tasted this for a solid 5 minutes after my last sip and was not impressed.
The feel is oily, and extremely light, almost watery. The carbonation was light to moderate at best.
It's certainly possible this was a bad batch, but I was not impressed with this beer at all. The aroma is nice, and there appears to be some potential here, but overall it's quite a few tweaks away from being a solid brew.
