    Most people have done things they aren't proud of the next morning, but you don't have to take a picture and post it on the internet!
    We'll give you a pass given the backdrop of sunsets and palm trees...

    I'm a little salty as my local total wine replaced two beer aisles with seltzers.

    With teen degree weather hitting my area, I decided to spend the night at my warmly heated bar with something more tropical to trick my ass for an hour or two.

    While not a beer, I've been enjoying Angry Orchard's various hard ciders. Different local amber types at the nearby dive-ish bar, with great burgers. Grovers - it was on Diners, Drive-in and Dives and is named Grover's as it was Grover Cleveland's hunting cabin a long time ago.

    Picked up a Winter sampler from Bell's Brewing in Comstock MI.

    They make my current favorite wheat/rye beer, "Oberon", and an IPA I am ambivalent about, "Two-Hearted".

    First up is Wild Spruce Chase, an IPA brewed with real spruce tips. I have had this style made by Alaskan Brewing, Red Hook Brewery (IIRC, it's been years) and several home brewer friends. I don't hate it, generally.

    This one is ...well, good. The first taste is jarring- it's kind of like a cartoon of beer taste...pine sol and bubblegum smells, hops and malt. Once it actually passes your tongue, it's very pleasant, and the following sips are very subtle.

    I thought the review on BeerAdvocate was worth posting (I mostly agree with the reviewer but not with so much enthusiasm).

    "4.38/5 rDev +7.9%
    look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
    by imnodoctorbut from Texas

    pours a slightly hazy gold-with-amber-tinge body with a billowing fluffy cream colored froth head that has moderately high retention and leaves moderately low amount of thick sudsy ropes of lacing behind as it slowly settles to a murky cap with a big rocky halo

    aroma is faint, but alludes to pine trees and easy citrus sweetness with a touch of caramel toffee malt

    taste blows the aroma's allusions out of the water. a fully rounded display of lightly sweetened citrus with a bouquet of pine and spruce (bark 'n' all) comes through woody and earthy with a touch of sweetness.

    the mouthfeel sings me back home, with a mid-level body and carbonation package that runs smooth and pillowy with a just-dry-enough finish and an aftertaste that fades from the earthy bitterness into the citrus sweet.

    overall:
    *chef's kiss*
    it's like licking a christmas tree but the tree is beer and also there's a fire cackling in the background because of course it is. i'm not generally a christmas guy, and the holiday ended over a week ago, but this one has me belting out "it's beginning to look a lot like chrrrrrist-a-mas...eeeeeeeeevvverywhere youuu gooo" and also this brew kicks it at 6.5% so that might be part of why but MAN. dunno how I havent treated myself to this one before this year, but it'll be on my yearly MUST list from here on out.
    4-point-nearly-5 points for Gryffindor. You're a wizard, Bells."
