Jumping Jack Pumpkin Ale

Tree Brewing Co., Kelowna, BC
8.5/10.  SR has never met a Tree beer that she hasn't liked.  This pumpkin ale does not disappoint- heavy on the pumpkin and light on spices.  One of our favorites from the pumpkin series!

Pumpkin Head - Pumpkin Brown Ale

Fernie Brewing Company, Fernie, BC.
8/10.  This is a great beer.  Very drinkable and not sweet, light spices.  CR didn't get to taste this one- sorry about that!

Vertical Winter Ale

Tree Brewing, Kelowna, BC
9/10.  This is the best winter ale that I have found (SR).  Medium sweetness with a slight taste of vanilla. Hard to pair with food because of the sweetness but oh, so good.  Not CR's favorite because he likes his drinks to be as bitter as he is.

Hercule Stout

La Brasserie Ellezelloise, Ellezelles, Belgium.
7/10, Monsieuir Poirrot, you are not a stout. You are a dark ale at best, case closed.

Pumpkineater Imperial Pumpkin Ale

Howe Sound Brewery, Squamish, BC
8.5/10. One of CR's Fav-O-rites in the pumpkin beer world. Not too sweet, not too pumpkiny. Strong though, drink when you know you aren't going anywhere for a bit.

St. Ambroise Citrouille

McAuslan Brewing, Montreal, Quebec.
7.5/10.  This was our favorite pumpkin ale last year.  This year it pales in comparison to many that we have tried but still drinkable.  Slightly sweet with light spices.

Fruliness

Brouwerij Huyghe Brewing, Ghent, Belgium & Guinness Brewing, Dublin, Ireland.
6/10. Strawberry Guinness is like adding strawberries to your coffee, it's not quite right.
