Tree Brewing Co. (Fireweed Brewing Corp) Reviews

didgerito	1.3 Shaftebury Strong Lager Sweet and overpowering it’s not good but you can choke it down, is it better than the other stuff in this price and % range? I’d rather not compare directly but it’s probably pretty smooth for the strength. Friday, April 26, 2024
Nurmis	3.2 Tree Vertical Winter Ale 473ml can from TAGliquorstores. Pours clearish brown with white head. Caramel, some vanilla. Just thin body, with better body this would be so good. Wednesday, April 17, 2024
mcberko	2.8 Tree Redwood Amber Ale Sampled at Hopscotch 2023, pours A clear amber with a small beige bead. Aroma is dry, with dry bready malt and a hint of caramel. Flavour is dry and malty, with bready malt and toasted caramel. Nothing special but drinkable enough. Meh. Sunday, November 26, 2023
rarein99	3.3 Tree Alpine Apricot Sour Saturday, July 15, 2023
rileycoyotes	3 Tree Vertical Winter Ale Sunday, December 18, 2022
ryanhunter_4	3.4 Tree Alpine Apricot Sour 473 ml can poured at home. Day 10 of the Costco beer advent calendar. Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Smells like apricot and lemon. Taste is not as sour as I thought it would be. Little bit of apricot finish and some slight tartness. Sunday, December 11, 2022
didgerito	1.9 Shaftebury Four Twenty Brilliant Lager Weird but not terrible to my taste, especially for the price. It's definitely not your typical lager, there is considerable malt and a creaminess going on. It does taste darker than a typical lager, and it looks a bit darker almost amber. There is some vegetal funk maybe slightly decaying that doesn't come across as desirable at first, but it's not that bad overall especially when cold. If it didn't have that vegetal funk this might taste better at warmer temperatures. Is this almost like a cream or amber lager? warm can: bad Sunday, December 4, 2022
pictoman	1.2 Shaftebury Four Twenty Brilliant Lager 355mL can at wrestling show. Vegetables, skunk, bad beer. First thought was wtf, then I looked at other ratings and realized that is just what this beer is…. Monday, August 15, 2022
ryanhunter_4	3.8 Tree Trailhead Cherry-Lime Sour 473 ml can poured at home. Pours reddish pink with a thin white head. Smells heavily of cherries. Taste is sour with a cherry finish. Not picking up any lime. Good. Tuesday, July 19, 2022
kevinsenn	2.8 Tree Cutthroat Pale Ale Can. Acidic resin aroma. Toffee, pine, resin taste. Not great. Monday, January 10, 2022
fiulijn	2.8 Tree Mulligan Lager Can from Big Rock in Vancouver Blond colour, clean. Some smell of wet grains. Fllavour of bread and again wet grains; correct bitterness; a bit of fusels. Drinkable. Friday, August 13, 2021
AgentAle	2.3 Tree Grapefruit Radler Aroma is citrus peel, grape fruit and honey. Taste is earthy, mildly acidity, and juicy light drink. Refreshing but ok. Sunday, August 1, 2021
zabrazasca	3.6 Tree Knox Brown Mountain Ale Thursday, July 8, 2021
Lubiere	3.3 Tree Old School Stout A deep dark stout with a thin brown head. In aroma, sweet chocolate malt with dark fruits, light mineral notes, light molasses, pleasant. In mouth, sweet chocolate malt with dark fruits, light oily mouth and light plums. Slight oxidation. Bottle from 2016. Sunday, March 7, 2021
Lubiere	3.3 Tree Captivator Doppelbock A deep dark brown bock with a thin big bubbled light mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with dark fruits, licorice, light mineral notes, OK. In mouth, sweet fruity malt with dark fruits, molasses, alcohol warmth, still solid after 7 years. Sunday, March 7, 2021
Oakes	3.2 Tree Hophead Black IPA (2020 - ) Dark brown. Frothy head. Looks appetizing. The aroma hints at a thin, toasty beer. There's decent body. It's got a worty note, and some sort of harsher toasty notes. There's a decent bitterness but no meaningful hop aromatics. I don't mind this interpretation of Black IPA. It's not my favourite take but I can appreciate it for what it is, even if the execution seems a bit off. Sunday, January 17, 2021
Oakes	2.8 Tree Hophead Juicy Hazy IPA Cloudy but quite dull. So it doesn't look good. Thick head. On the nose, sort of a citrus/pine aroma, and yeasty. On the palate, it's okay. There's light bitterness. The malts are weak and the hops lack any distinctive character. I mean, that's an odd hop mix for a hazy IPA, and as it turns out, going off the board doesn't work this time. All told, it's not bad, but definitely below the mean for this style. Sunday, January 17, 2021
Oakes	1.2 Tree Hophead Red IPA Reddish-brown colour, some haze. Looks like a fermentation issue. Medium head. The aroma is a bit buttery, a touch toasty. Same on the palate - this leads with diacetyl. Not much hop character, either bitterness or anywhere else. Sloppy work for a brewery that can do better. Sunday, January 17, 2021
bdleedahl	3.5 Tree Vertical Winter Ale Not english, red and oily. Smooth and a bit creamy, but clearly relying on some other oily thing. Sk co-op Tuesday, December 22, 2020
bdleedahl	3.3 Tree Raspberry Porter Good very light base stout. Dry. Raspberry is a bit oily. Decent beer, too fruity. Co-op sk Tuesday, December 22, 2020
bdleedahl	3.5 Tree Cutthroat Pale Ale A nice clean, very balanced pale ale. Very good for the style. Mildly hopped. Co-op sk Sunday, December 20, 2020
DeanF	2.9 Dukes Cider Modest light gold body and no real foam, mostly sweet apple aroma though with some slight skin bitterness. Flavour is modest apple, soft sweetness. Decent carbonation. Unexceptional BC cider but still okay in that macro kind of way. Sunday, August 9, 2020
stantheman	2.7 Tree Kelowna Pilsner On tap at The Hub restaurant in New Westminster. A very ordinary pilsner. Boring. Friday, July 31, 2020
DeanF	3.5 Tree Mellow Moon Smells of soft banana and pineapple, has cloudy yellow body with minimal foam. Flavour is nice banana, bubble gum, soft pineapple. Mouthfeel is full and chewy. This is nice, a little artificial but so much better than the other bland offerings I've been trying from them. Friday, July 10, 2020
Lubiere	2.7 Tree Mellow Moon A golden weizen with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with light pineapples, OK. In mouth, sweet banana bread with light pineapples, light oxidation, boring. Bottle from lcbo, 2015. Sunday, May 31, 2020
Hrc_Cro	3 Tree Thirsty Beaver Amber 0.473l can. Clear amber color with nice looking, but fast fading beige head. Aroma of malt, caramel, bread and nuts. Taste is bitter and sweet. The most average amber in existance, for better or worse. Tuesday, September 17, 2019
CaskTun41	4.1 Tree Trappist Artist Belgian Dubbel Sunday, August 18, 2019
LovibondTickers41	3.1 Tree Thirsty Beaver Amber Sunday, July 28, 2019
AleLiquids53	5 Dukes Cider I personally love it. I enjoy dry cider and it’s one of the best I’ve had. I enjoy the fact it’s so slow in carbs and sugar too; it’s not too sweet and I don’t feel bloated after having it. Monday, June 24, 2019
boostergold	1.8 Tree Kelowna Pilsner Thursday, June 20, 2019
DeanF	3.1 Tree Hophead India Pale Ale On tap at the brewery. Murky brown body and minimal head, smells like sweet malts and honey. Flavour is more honey and malt - missing the hop character. I like IPAs with malt character but this has no hops to be seen, little bitterness, too sweet, too corporate. Earlier Rating: 4/9/2016 Total Score: 2.9 Orange-gold body with good head. (That’s what she said! Ha!) Malty hop aroma, not too bad, not too expert either. Flavour is soft hops and weak hint of malts. Very subdued, preferred the double better. Give this to your friends at the barbeque and keep the strong one behind the bar for yourself. Saturday, March 2, 2019
solidfunk	2.9 Tree Vertical Winter Ale Vanilla and random christmas spices. Like most winter ales but with vanilla. Murky red colour. Good head. Light oak finish. Tap at brewery. Saturday, December 29, 2018
MickieDee	3 Shaftebury Coastal Cream Ale Sunday, December 9, 2018
adamnowek	2.3 Tree Kelowna Pilsner A really basic pilsener. Really rather sweet taste. Texture is fairly thin and watery. Not a whole lot going on here. Thursday, October 25, 2018
Sandro Mosque	3.2 Tree Monkey Pod Rye Ale Tuesday, October 16, 2018
Gerbeer	1.1 Tree Lemon Raspberry Radler 473 ml can.pours a turbid hazy pink with little head. Aromas of creasote, burn rubber, and dry herbal raspberries. Just awful... Flavors of lemon wax, industrial cleaner and hints of candied raspberries. Not a good rendition. Picked up at a BCLS store. Does anyone there sample first? Sunday, October 7, 2018
WortStein17	3.2 Tree Kim-Ach Touch Dark brown in color with reddish highlights to it, looks clear aside from some floating chunks of sediment in it and pours with a finger of tan colored coarse, bubbly head that has a poorish retention to it and leaves a moderately lacy patchwork on the glass. Rich sweet malt aroma with odd fruity hints of something like grape jelly, some faint weedy hop notes on the back-end. Malty sweet flavor forward with some slightly fruity notes of dark grapes or plums as well as faint hints of crushed pomegranate juice and acidic coffee. Slightly higher then average carbonation to it, Medium/ heavy bodied base with a dark malty sweetness to it, like a very dark brown bread and sorghum syrup with faint notes of chocolate, pecans and toasted coconut. Back-end is surprisingly hoppy with a mild to moderately bitter finish, weedy with faint bitter tropical hints with a bitter citrus peel and green mango flavor to it. Thursday, September 6, 2018
stantheman	3.6 Tree Hophead India Pale Ale On tap at the brewery in Vancouver. A darker amber beer with a beige head and a faint and frankly weird malted nose. More weirdness on the palate. What to say? It suggests a trace of whiskey barrel, though it clearly has no business doing so. Anyway, pleasantly weird. 3.6 Earlier Rating: 11/24/2012 Total Score: 3.9 November 24, 2012: Small bottle at Hops in New West. Little head or nose here. A nice reddish amber color. There are some sharp and bitter hops up front, but backed by substantial malts as well. Nice balance. Nice overall. July 30 2020: On tap at The Met in New Westminster. Huge hop and malt components. One of the best IPAs ever. Thursday, August 16, 2018
AleRider78	3.7 Tree Cutthroat Pale Ale 2014 rating. Pours a huge frothy off-white head and has a rusty amber looking appearance. Thick dirty lacing. Aromas of citrus hops and sweet, honey malts. Flavours are quite hoppy, with notes of cascade and golding hops. Malts are mainly Munich. Quite sweet with more notes of honey. Some very subtle hints of caramel as well. Good balance of sweetness and bitterness. Medium bodied. Great retention. Sunday, July 29, 2018
DraftDodger	2.8 Tree Kelowna Pilsner Vancouver 25/7 2018. 47,3 cl can from BC Liquor Store in Valemount. Yellow can with a fence positioned on top of a landscape with a Lake in British Columbia. The person who designed this Can seems to be quite confused. Pours clear yellow with medium-sized white head. Settles as 1 cm thick layer of foam completely obscuring the surface of the beer. Substantial Lacing. Aroma is not especially intense. Sweet malts, butter. Moderate hoppiness. Grassy. Medium carbonation. Thin, lively and prickly texture. Flavor has medium sweetness. Followed by stronger bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter. Lingers shortly. Simple pilsner-style beer. A tad sweet but nicely balanced by a notable bitterness. Thursday, July 26, 2018
DraftDodger	3.3 Tree Cutthroat Pale Ale Vancouver 24/7 2018. 47,3 cl can from BC Liquor Store in Valemount. Green can with a fence positioned on top of a landscape with a Lake in British Columbia. The person who designed this Can seems to be quite confused. Pours slightly hazy amber with big white head. Settles as 1 cm thick layer of foam completely obscuring the surface of the beer. Substantial Lacing. Aroma is not especially intense. Sweet caramel, light roast. Some hops peeking in with sour bitter dryness. Light carbonation. Thin, lively and prickly texture. Flavor has fairly strong sweetness. Followed by moderate sourish bitterness. Aftertaste is sweetish with a touch of caramel. Lingers shortly. Solid take on a EPA. A little confusing that they call it a “West Coast Ale” Tuesday, July 24, 2018
piscator34	2.7 Tree Bouchierie Mountain Dark Ale On draft at the brewery. Near black in colour with medium carbonation. Aromas of cocoa powder, caramel, and dried apple. More cocoa powder and dried orchard fruit on the palate, along with a bit of bitter espresso. Very dry on the palate. Thursday, June 7, 2018
