A - Golden amber witha tight but short lived head that becomes a lace ring leaving minor spotting and has good streaming CO2.

S - Golden roasted sweet malts rather sugar like with spice and awesome pine aroma, some lemon geranium floral aroma.

T - Pure genius. The taste here is great. Plenty of the promised pine balanced by those sweet malts . The hop and spruce work well together adding great flavour but never become over powering or overwhelming the taste buds. This beer is in near perfect taste balance.

MF - Perfectly drying boozy warmth with a spicy nip and a light tingle. Full yet smooth.

Overall - A very surprising beer. IMO the best thing to come out of Adnams by a long shot it looks only average but it taste amazing.

Bottled and possibly bottle conditioned
Pours a golden body with big foaming white head that retreats but pretty much covers the surface
Nicely spruced
