Clear with decent head retention, smells like a malty, but clean pilsner, perhaps a hint of pine, but very subtle. The taste is crisp and bready, lots of toasty caramel and grain flavors, but no pine; body is light and effervescent. The finish is clean and low in bitterness with just a hint of herbal hops mixed with the malts before it fades away. Overall, it a very good pilsner, effortlessly sessionable, but where the hell is the spruce? Major failure in the naming of this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","embm_styles":[66],"embm_groups":[],"embm_menus":[],"class_list":["post-1530","embm_beer","type-embm_beer","status-publish","hentry","embm_style-lager-amber"],"embm_profile":{"malts":"Unknown","hops":"Unknown","additions":"Spruce Tips","yeast":"Lager","abv":5.1,"ibu":14},"embm_extras":{"availability":"","notes":"","beer_number":null},"embm_untappd":{"id":2765199},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/1530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/embm_beer"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1530"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/1530\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1533,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/1530\/revisions\/1533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"embm_style","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_styles?post=1530"},{"taxonomy":"embm_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_groups?post=1530"},{"taxonomy":"embm_menu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_menus?post=1530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
