Tree Brewing Company's Hop Head IPA

"signature ipa.  loaded with hops."  its Tree Brewing Company's Hop Head IPA!

hoppy aroma, clear caramel colour, good head on the pour that disappears within moments and a lovely crisp hoppy taste.  definitely on the bitter side.  delicious.  5.6%

the bottle says:  "tree brewing company takes craft brewing seriously.  we brew in small batches using only water, malt, hops and yeast to produce the highest quality, award winning beer.  try our selection of all natural unpasteurized beers, sure to satisfy some of the most discriminating craft beer drinkers & judges.  drop by the brewery located in beautiful kelowna, british columbia, and we'll show you firsthand how we make great beer.  until then... cheers!"

would i have more than one?  sure, and i often do.
is it in my top 10 ipas?  nope, doesn't crack the top ten.  it is quite enjoyable though.

i like the new branding of tree - the stylized mighty pine is oh so canadian, and oh so tree.


the website says:  "Available in 6 packs.  Signature IPA. Full-bodied and loaded with hops, delivering a very distinctive taste and aroma. SILVER medalist - 2008 Canadian Brewing Awards, BRONZE medalist - 2007 Canadian Brewing Awards"

they also have a limited edition double ipa that i simply must try.

the website says:  "Hophead DOUBLE IPA - NEW RELEASE January 13, 2010, 650 ml Limited Edition Brew,  8.0% Alcohol.  At TREE Brewing Company, we take craft brewing seriously.  So much in fact that we got a little carried away and brewed this occasional rarity, Hop Head Double IPA.  Loaded with five different hop varieties, this bold IPA is not for the faint of heart.  Gold Medalist - 2009 Candian [sic] Brewing Awards"
