Spruce Tip Ale
A golden pale ale brewed with spruce tips foraged in the north. Bright citrus and fresh evergreen lead the aroma, and the spruce sets a distinct note of pine and lemon on the palate. A light malt character sits behind it without adding weight, and a gentle hop bitterness keeps the beer crisp and balanced. The finish is clean and resinous, and the spruce reads as aromatic rather than medicinal.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Spruce Tip Ale
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
