Tree Hophead 45 Red Ale

Brewed by Tree Brewing
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Kelowna, Canada

clear copper pour. aroma of hops and grain. this is only available I believe in the Tree character packs. not outstanding, but drinkable.

Bottle. Clear and copper with small, rapidly diminishing head. Aroma of citrusy hops and roast barley. Hop bitterness balanced with some malt flavour is up front. The roasted barley flavor follows. Carbonation is about right. This is a good beer, the contrast between the roast malt taste and the hops is just a little disjointed. I thought this beer to be kind of a cross between and IPA and an Irish Red.

Copper with a little red in it, medium tan head. Nose all hops, mostly citrus. Fairly dry, medium bitterness, not a lot of malt flavor.

Quite a bit of grain in the aroma along with floral and light citrus hop notes. Clear amber-copper coloured body is topped by a shy off white head that recedes to a partial cover. Round caramel malt flavour with some grainy character and moderate bitterness. Floral hops offer counterpoint. Medium body with a rather pleasant fizzy effervescence. Tulip glass. A bit above fridge temperature. Bottle purchased as part of the Winter 2009 Tree Character 8-pack at Hellsgate in Oct-09.
