From Vancouver Island’s Tofino Brewing out of Tofino comes their “Spruce Tree Ale”. This beer is conditioned with sitka spruce tips. The beer pours a golden colour with an off white head. The aroma consists of malt, floral hops and some sweet citrus. The flavour is of sweet citrus, caramel malts, hops bitterness and a light spruce finish. The flavour is fairly light. The alcohol content comes in at 6.5%. The spruce was not as present as I had expected but the finished product is very pleasing and a pleasant sip.
