Big Spruce

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A dense, white head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is lively and visible, creating a vibrant visual presence.

◌ Aroma

Assertive pine and resin notes dominate the nose, supported by pronounced citrus—lemon zest and grapefruit peel—that cuts through with brightness. A subtle herbal edge and mineral undertone suggest the dry, crisp character to follow. The Edelhopfen character is direct and inviting without being aggressive.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a bold citrus bite and immediate pine resin character that sits comfortably at 6.6% ABV. Mid-palate remains crisp and refreshing, with a clean Malz backbone that supports rather than competes with the hops. The 60 IBU bitterness is present and structured, finishing dry without harshness.

◑ Finish

A sharp, lingering finish with persistent pine and citrus notes that slowly fade to a dry, slightly resinous aftertaste. The bitterness subsides gradually, leaving a refreshing, mineral-tinged memory.
