Back at home, this was the first of several rounds of beer testing done with my brother. We put a local B.C. brewery with 3 different contenders to the challenge.
Defending Champ
Name: Asahi "The Master" Pilsner
Origin: Tokyo, Japan
Alcohol: 5.5%
Price: USD2.55/can USD0.73/100mL
This is the first title defense since the impressive victory at the last Royal Rumble Japan, scoring 8.95/10.
Challenger 1:
Name: Tree Brewing Co. Kelowna Pilsner
Origin: Kelowna, B.C., Canada
Alcohol: 4.8%
Price: USD2.05/can USD0.41/100mL
A pleasant aroma, but a bit fizzy and a sharp bitter bite. However, it does get better after letting it settle down for a minute. Final score 7/10.
Challenger 2:
Name: Tree Brewing Co. Thirsty Beaver Amber Ale
Origin: Kelowna, B.C., Canada
Alcohol: 5%
Price: USD2.21/can USD0.44/100mL
A medium bodied beer, it has a smooth, malty flavour that lingers. Final score 7.1/10.
Challenger 3:
Name: Tree Brewing Co. Cutthroat Pale Ale
Origin: Kelowna, B.C., Canada
Alcohol: 5%
Price: USD2.21/can USD0.44/100mL
With a nice thick head on the pour, it has a pleasant floral aroma with hints of pine, and a full, rich flavour. Final score 6.95/10.
While all 3 challengers were solid performers, none were able to come close to taking the crown. Asahi "The Master" Pilsner keeps the title.
