From the label

“Life With Music is a rustic smoke beer aged on oak spirals. This classic Lager pours a deep hazel beneath a robust swell of foam that clings to the glass. Aromas of toffee and toasted biscuit form the foundation, while notes of campfire smoke, smoked honey, and a roasted nuttiness drift above the glass. Its time on oak creates a soft body and a tannic finish and is an homage to the vessels that would have held beers such as these before the modern use of steel. The spruce was a student of the forest; it had memorized the movements long before it pierced the clouds. Birds chattered at dawn, cicadas drew their bows, and crickets filled the forest floor with an electric hum. It never imagined its afterlife, cut into a plane and bent into a rippling curve with a hollow chest, with strings taut across it. Each silent chamber in its former trunk vibrating as it learned to sing.”
