Description
Since 1996, our brewing philosophy has been quite simple – to brew memorable, well balanced and flavourful beers, regardless of the style.
From light and crisp, to malt forward and smooth, all the way to loaded with hops… each of our brews are crafted using 100% malted barley, the finest hops, water and yeast.
Founded in Kelowna, BC, now brewing in our expanded facility with Big Rock Brewery in North Vancouver’s Brewery Creek district, drop by if you’re in the neighbourhood and we’ll show you first hand how we make great beer.

Bottle: Poured a light hazy orangey color ale with a large pure white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aromas of wheat malt with some notes of pineapple are quite singular. Taste is also a mix between some sweet wheat malt notes with some pineapple juice which more or less works well together. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Not sure what to make of this experiment but probably won’t seek again.

Hazy amber,small beige head.Salty nose.Vague fruity notes in nose and palate. Not much here except an rather unpleasant hop bitterness. A waste of both time and money, both mine and theirs

Tree brewing’s kelowna Pilsner. 4.8% drunk from the can. 2.60$ for a 500ml can. Pale gold pour, thick head. Light malts, crackery aroma. The taste is light grains, crackers, bread crust, sharply bitter finish. Meh it is ok, though it has an odd earthy nutty character to it. It is a pilsner made without pilsner malt - not to style.

Poured from the tap. Orangey brown with beige head. Nutty malt with light hop aroma and a little caramel. Flavour same, hopping is a bit light on the taste and tastes slightly watered down.

Limited Edition bomber at the LCBO. Pours a cloudy golden-orange colour with a big off-white head that stays a long time and leaves great thick-creamy lacing. Mild sweet aromas of pineapples cover up the hefe banana wheat notes with some decent yeast as the backbone. The taste is milder with not as much sweetness as expected from the nose. Hints of wheat and yeast again. Quite a interesting combo of the pineapples and the hefeweizen. Not too worry, not too sweet, so good for summer.

Bottle from the LCBO. Hazy orange amber pour with a big white head that leaves great lace. Nose is dominated by pineapple with some grain, banana and cloves. Light sweet malt start with tart pineapple in the middle and end with light spice appearing in the finish. Medium slick mouth with average carbonation. A little more balance for the pineapple would be good.

Poured from 650mL bottle dated 20/12/2014. I’m quite sure this is the same as Tree "For Pete’s Sake" Raspberry IPA (it even has that name stamped on the back of the bottle). Clear, pale pinkish yellow with white head. Aroma has grapefruit and piney hops, little bit of skunk, not really getting any raspberry. Taste shows a bit of the raspberry, quite fresh, but muted. Piney, resinous hops with the subtle sweet tartness of the raspberries. The flavours don’t really mesh in my opinion.

Bottle from Legacy Liquor, Vancouver
Beatutiful red mahogany color, hazy; the excessive head is a bad signal; it reduces to creamy beige head. It clearly shows the barrel aging, in the aroma, and an impression of raspberries. Thin and highly carbonated; some roasted malt flavor, raspberries, a bit woody and astringent, with light sourness.
Quite messy, probably infected. Although not completely bad.
