Tunnel Of Trees
TRVE Brewing Co.

Poured from a pint can, the body pours a faded gold with fluffy white head. Very good lacing.

Aroma is hoppy with a bit of light fruit.

Taste follows nose with the hoppiness a notch below the level in the aroma but still very present. Wafts of grapefruit, pineapple and orange. There is a malty base that balances the hops with a sturdy and perhaps lightly sweet malty backbone. Bitterness is present, but it is light and temporary. Things dry up nicely with only a hint of bitterness in the finish. No sign of ABV.

Mouthfeel is good with strong carbonation.

Easy drinking American IPA

 

16 oz. Can
ABV: 7%

My first from this brewery.

Poured into a Tree House glass a very nice hazy golden yellow color, very nice carbonation, with a very nice thick/creamy one-finger plus white head, which also leaves some very nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit, guava), pretty nice pineyness. The taste is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit, guava), pretty nice pineyness. Medium Body, ABV is hidden pretty nicely, with a nice dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a pretty tasty beer.

 

 

 

Revisited August 01st, 2025

Clear, pale yellow body with a very mild haze; good carbonation; thick and fairly dense white head, long-lasting. Nice, balanced smell; light biscuit infused with quiet fruity esters; pear. The taste follows along the lines of the smell; refined light malt backbone; a peppery hop flavor; a nice dose of hop bitterness rounds things out. Medium bodied; crisp and slightly prickly on the palate; semi-dry finish.

Well, other than the looks being knocked down a 1/4 point in the looks, this beer rates nearly the same as from last year.

It's sad when a great brewery closes its doors after a relatively short time. I was lucky to score a few more of their beers (while they last).

Pours a soft, light yellow, mildly hazy; thick, frothy head, white and rocky. Outstanding scents of citrus and tropical fruits; a touch of oats. Muted citrus flavor; bracing bitterness bite; citrus rind; biscuit. Heavy body; light overall acidity.

It has been a number of years since I last had this beer. This OG India pale ale from TRVE won't be mistaken for the brewery's latest west coast IPA styles, and I don't see at an overall high level hazy offering, yet it is certainly pleasant enough. It's nice to go back and revisit old beers from yore.

16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden amber color with a small, white head of fluffy foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of pineapple, orange and toasted bread. Sweet tropical fruit taste with caramel and a piney bitterness.

 

 

 

I’m enjoying this one. Glad I picked it up.

West coast in appearance, with a golden translucence and bright foam. Light lychee and peach must on the nose, with an added white wine grape note. Low bitterness, but well defined.

 

 

Pours yellow with a near-clear transparency. Solid plume of bubbles rising from bottom to top. Two fingers of white foam top it, with great retention. Aroma is a splendid blend of tropical fruits and orange, along with resiny, piney, and evergreen notes. Not bitter, nor juicy. Flavor profile is piney, reisny, herbaly, and evergreen hops with orange zest and lemon drop behind. It's a role reversal from the aroma, in which is lead by forest and earthy notes, and followed by a little tropical fruit sweetness. Bready, biscuity, and earthy malts fall behind. Again, never bitter, nor juicy. Mild. Mouth feel is pillowy with an expansive, bubbly effervescence. Thickness is medium. Overall, a splendid blend between tropical fruits and biting pine trees.

Draft. Reviewed from notes.

16 oz can. Pours slightly hazy straw yellow with a medium creamy white head that retains well and laces the glass.

The aroma is sweet bready malts with might fruity piney hops.

The flavor is sweet bready cracker malts with piney resiny hops and a little fruit. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.

Overall, a decent IPA.
