Yards Poor Richard's Tavern Spruce Ale

I'm trying to break my cycle of never reviewing the last beer of a six-pack with this. I especially didn't want it to go unnoted because it's a historical recreation (based allegedly on an actual Benjamin Franklin recipe), and I'm a sucker for a concept beer. Smells sweet and, well, sprucey - green and piney but also sort of rosemary-savory. That savory herbal quality is what really jumps out. Lightly sweet, drier finish, thick body. Tastes very much like a brown ale but with that spruce flavor running through it. I'm a big fan of spruce flavor - this isn't the first spruce beer I've had - so this is definitely enjoyable to me. I can see this not being for everyone, and it'd be pretty tricky to pair correctly so you really need to know what you're getting into when you open this up. Still, totally worth trying.
