Resinously bitter smoked beer. On the nose pine shoots and Columbus hops alongside oak smoked wheat malt create a peculiarly fruity first impression. However, the tongue enters into a citrusy pungent bitterness, which is partly balanced by the sweetness of the lightly caramelized barley and the smoothness of rye. With a pleasantly refreshing smoldering aftertaste.

Pours a sllightly cloudy, reddish amber coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of smoked, caramel malt, and bitter, resinous hops, with hints of pine shoots coming through as well. Taste is a great bakance of smoked, caramel malt and bitter, herbal, resinous, slightly spicy and fruity hops, with light citrus notes of grapefruit, black pepper, licorice, alpine herbs and pine shoots coming through as well. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some smoked/caramel malt, pine shoots and alpine herbs lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
This is basically a smoked East Coast IPA with added pine shoots. At first, the smoked malts seemed just a tad overpowering, especially in the nose, but as you keep drinking this, the beer really comes together, with a great balance of malts, hops and pine shoots. The smoked, caramel, rye malts lend charred oak, sweetness and spice to this, while the hops are quite herbal and spicy as well, with hints of citrus and a great resinous quality coming through from the pine shoots. Overall, this makes for a very interesting and enjoyable drinking experience, with the smoked malts, pine shoots and bitterness working together very well here.
