Beer #14 - Tree Brewing Thirsty Beaver Amber Ale

Tree Brewing Thirsty Beaver Amber Ale
www.treebeer.com

Tree Brewing located in Kelowna, BC has been brewing since 1996.  They've reinvented themselves a few times over the past 15 or so years, with a new beer line-up and new packaging.  Personally I still miss their Spy Dark Lager from when they first opened.  This amber ale is their best selling beer currently.

It has a beautiful dark amber colour, with a rich cream coloured head.

It smells of hops, caramel and a berry note.

It starts with a stron hop flavour with the caramel slowly overtaking the hops and fading away and leaving a light berry flavour mingling with the hops creating a nice clean finish.

It sips pretty smooth and clean with a little bit of thickness.

Overall the flavour profile and the complexity make it an intriguing brew.  It goes well with meals or on it's own.
