Tree Brewing Co. Kelowna, BC.
7/10. Sweet and light to me, great summer beer to tide us over until their winter ale is back out (let the countdown begin).

Mandarin Orange Ale Amber Ale
Dead Frog Brewing. Surrey, BC.
6/10. This used to be a favorite of ours but the quality of all Dead Frog beers has gone down. If you are going to drink this, have it very cold with a wedge of orange.

Humphrey Biere De Garde
Parallel 49 Brewing. Vancouver, BC.
6.5/10. Tasted exactly like a cheap beer. Which is AWESOME if you like cheap beer but enjoy
paying microbrewery prices.

Vanilla Oatmeal Stout
Ninkasi, Eugene, OR.
6/10. At first sip, this wasn't as sweet or vanilla-y as originally expected. A few sips in it was drinkable but still a disappointment. Heavy malt aftertaste.

Piper's Pale Ale
Vancouver Island Brewery, Victoria, BC.
7.5/10. If you have to drink a pale ale on a hot day, this is a good one. (Please note: hairy man in background is not required).

Abbey de St. Martin Brune
Brunehaut, Rongy, Belgium.
7/10. We first tasted this one at Stella's with a warm chocolate cherry cake. Memories of the taste are superior to reality but still a nice beer. Medium in flavour and color.

Raspberry Porter
Tree Brewing Company, Kelowna, BC
8.5/10. A mouth full of dark chocolate, raspberry and coffee flavours. Think Purdy's Raspberry Creams. Looking forward to drinking this at Christmas.

Cloak & Dagger Cascadian Dark Ale
Granville Island Brewing. Vancouver, BC.

Dark Meddle Beer
Gigantic Brewing Company, Portland Oregon.
7.5/10. Tasted like a winter ale and a dark lager mixed together. Easy summer beer choice.
