Description: | The Harpoon 100 Barrel Series Vermont Spruce Tip Ale is a showcase for a traditional yet seldom used brewing ingredient: spruce tips. The spruce tips were used in the same way finishing hops might be used, with additions late in the boil and in the whirlpool. Harvested at their tender, ripe, bright green peak, the spruce tips impart citrus, pine, spice, herbal and earthy notes. A host of malts, a hint of roasted barley and generous use of Chinook hops complement the unique spruce flavor. 7% abv | |
