JHunter (168), British Columbia, Canada Aug 29, 2007 had on tap at Tree brewery and it was very pleasant. pours a light red colour with a very colourful aroma. i have had thirsty beaver many times and enjoy it.
GregClow (2395), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 22, 2008 Bottle. Sunset orange-amber with a small off-white head. Nice aroma of toasted barley, a but fruity, with mellow hops to balance. Flavour follows, with a slight apple note, and hops that are a bit more prominent in the finish than suggested by the aroma. Medium bodied. I did not expect much based on the kinda cheesy label, but this ended up being a nice, balanced, drinkable ale. pootzboy (910), Calgary/ Kitchener, Alberta, Canada Nov 20, 2008 Bottle from variety pack.
Pours a shimmering deep amber with a 3 finger puffy cap that laces well on the glass.
Aroma is nice: lots of toasty maltiness, caramel sweetness bit of musty fruitiness from the yeas under a predominant citrus-floral hop aroma..I like malty beers so this aroma is ambrosia to me.
Moderate body with a good malt spine, chunky mouth feel with a malty-toffee-floral character.
Up front the lush caramelized malts predominate then the fruit-citrus and herbal bittering create some mild complexity, Finish is thick, malty and lightly bitter.
My favorite Tree brew. Alraomon (64), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Sep 28, 2008 An orangish-golden pour, with an offwhite, almost dirty looking head.
A soft and sweet maltiness... almost a creamy malt quality. A bit of a corn scent. Kinda interesting
A similar corn-husk / creamed corn note in it. Otherwise malty and a slight honey hint.
A smooth, medium body. Soft, shimmering carbonation. A nice, clean finish... the mouthfeel is basically just as the brewer describes. An easy going amber, easy drinker, and good session brew.
patricks110 (198), Alberta, Canada Sep 5, 2008 Great name for sure. Normal and boring aroma but nice malty taste. Aroma is of hops and sweet malts. Taste is slightly caramel, and malty. Medium bodied and smooth mouthfeel. Slight bitter aftertaste, but a great beer. Comparable to Yukon Arctic Red. LordBeamish (136), Boozetown, Ontario, Canada Jul 14, 2008 bottle: I must admit I’m giving this one a couple of extra points based on the name alone. Hoppy aroma with an unidentifiable sweetness. Pours a light amber with an ample head. Goes down smooth and easy with a slight bitterness on the back of the palate. What can I say......I love beaver!
