    I'll throw in Smuttynose Finest Kind into the mix.

    More of a grapefruit-forward IPA, it has plenty of that bitter pine resin that many folks (including myself) love.

    I always thought goose island was piney. Great divide's Titan ipa and Hercules double ipa were pretty piney as well.

    According to the Beer Menus website this beer is still made but...

    I searched for it near me and the result was a store that was over 300 miles away. So, not widely distributed/sold?

    Cheers!

    Shorts made a seasonal last year that used spruce tips in the brewing. That was pretty piney, as would be expected.

    I take it you drank Shorts Spruce Pilsner? Did it taste piney to you?

    I recently homebrewed a Spruce Ale using fresh growth tips from my next door neighbor’s Blue Spruce tree; this is the second time I brewed this batch of beer. My beer does not have anything in the way of a “piney” flavor to it. The best way I could describe it is being a herbal flavor but frankly I have never tasted a herb that tastes like this beer.

    Cheers!

    Pennsylvania Tuxedo from Dogfish Head is piney, sprucey, little green air freshener hanging from your rear view mirror goodness.

    Actually it was juicy tree, which had juniper berries in it also. Wasn't the same kind of piney as most piney ipas, but I could taste the influence of the spruce for sure. My post was a little tongue in cheek because there was actual pine used in the beer.

    Some better suggestions, that I can attest to, before this one, yet ...

    is a simple, sparkling piney DIPA

    ... some fond, blurry memories.

    It might not be in season but Alesmith Double IPA is pretty damn piney and resinous

    Bell's Quinannan Falls hits that spot perfectly for me, even if it is a technical lager
