This classic French Canadian pale ale is built on a foundation of pale malt with a hint of caramel, bursting with grapefruit and piney notes from fresh spruce tips and Cascade and Chinook hops. Santé!

Concord Brewery "Spruce Pale Ale"
16 fl. oz. can without production codes or freshness dating
Notes via stream of consciousness: This is a "French Canadian" pale ale brewed with fresh spruce tips and Cascade and Chinook hops. It's poured a lightly hazy amber colored body beneath a short head of off-white foam. The aroma is mildly woodsy, surprisingly spruce-like, and gently citrusy. On to the taste... it delivers a beautifully balanced combination of gently sweet caramelish and bready malt with spruce and citrus. It's firmly bitter and it finishes mainly dry with the malt fading to leave the spruce and some grapefruit lingering. The spruce is not overdone, which is great, and yet it's clearly there. In the mouth it's medium bodied and gently crisp. The head held up just OK but the lacing that it's left behind is quite nice. This is another win for Rapscallion in my book.
