Yards - Poor Richard's Tavern Spuce

Tavern Spruce is brewed to celebrate and commemorate Ben Franklin’s 300th Birthday. Yards quotes "Yards are proud to bring you this historically brewed spruce/molasses beer". Brewed with Norwegian Spruce tips and a whole dwarf Alberta Spruce. I purchased a case of the "Ales of the Revolution" which includes "Poor Richard's Tavern Spruce; Thomas Jefferson's Tavern Ale; and General Washington's Tavern Porter.  I will review the over tow later in this blog.
