Pours sparkly red with an aroma familiar of a classic west coast ipa — citrus, herbal, piney, and an underlying complexity which is the Spruce. The Spruce tips become prominent mid-sip, and carry over into the finish. This is complimented by some caramel malt sweetness almost reminiscent of sticky sap, where the Spruce shines and evokes thoughts of an awakening spring forest. Full-bodied, complex, but not overpowering. Very drinkable.
