Not necessarily pine-like - Amaro Braulio imparts a very slight menthol and camphor quality. It actually contains Absinthe and Gentiane, which is probably why I didn't feel the need to add the Absinthe rinse.
I really like using Braulio in cocktails, and if you happen to find the Riserva version, it's even better (a bit tamer and refined, to me).
Also, a good alternative for Chartreuse Jaune is Grand Olan Liqueur from the Meunier distillery (which is just 10kms from Voiron, home of Chartreuse)
