We are excited that you are holding Tree House Brewing Company's big brother to Alter Ego, Doppelganger! It builds upon Alter Ego with an amplified kettle and dry hop, resulting in a hugely tropical beer with notes of papaya, mango, and peach. It is the result of our uncompromising dedication to fresh, progressive, & delightful beer. We hope you enjoy it with laughter, good cheer, and in the company of those you love.

Thanks goes out to colby600 for this brew, again.

Revist: 9 Nov 18
16 oz. Can
Canned On: 09/20/18

Poured into a Tree House glass a very nice cloudy yellow color, very nice carbonation, with a very nice thick/creamy two-finger white head, which also leaves some very nice creamy sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, peach, grapefruit, mango, papaya), with some pretty nice diesel like. The taste is very nice hoppy, malty, with a very nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, peach, mango, grapefruit, papaya) pretty nice diesel like. Medium body, ABV hidden very well, with a very nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a very very tasty brew. Addictive! Orange Julius! Milk Shake! Thanks Bill!

Pours opaque golden yellow orange with a lux head. Smell is big peach. Various tropical fruits, for TH the the feel is medium chewy, very bitter to match the sweets. Excellent, yet TH there is even better.

Pours a honey color, uber-hazy with 2+ fingers of pearl colored head. Rings of lacing & & stellar head retention

S: A riot of tropical fruit & citrus fruits, peach as well. Fades a bit down the stretch, green melon as well

T: Mango, passionfruit, tangerine, green melon & pineapple up front. Pink grapefruit once warmer, pineapple too along with passion fruit & guava; lime as well.

MF: Medium body, creamy carbonation, lovely balance & some acidity

Lethal drinkability, no flaws here, just minor distractions. A+ beer. Either my nose was off or just not quite there. Would go broke drinking this or perhaps trading it???

L - Hazy yellow with a large frothy white head that sticks around and leaves behind a ton of lacing
S - Soft tropical fruit notes - mango, peach, and citrus. Along with piney hops
T - follows the nose - soft tropical fruit notes: mango, peach, and papaya dominate with some citrus. Very subdued piney hops - enough to taste them, but there's no bite there
F - full bodied with moderate carbonation. Soft
O - Building off of Julius, Doppleganger has the citrus and soft hops that KJ has, but with added mango, peach, and papaya fruit profile.

Very orange with an orange kissed white head, also very cloudy as expected. . The nose is very floral, and I must say not as pleasant as I thought it would be. Lots of papaya and some peach flavors come through on this beer. Very pleasant across the palate. .

On tap at Saratoga Springs. I nice New England IPA. So hazy, ugly and opaque ( and it doesn’t settle out in the glass) that the brewers deserve some credit. Some citrus and resin in the nose but as with most super hazy beers the mouthfeel suffers. Some chalkiness. Over rated.

16oz can served in a snifter. Pours the color and clarity of orange juice with a fluffy, quarter inch, off-white head. Nose expresses notes of citrus, mango and papaya with a kiss of orange creamsicle at the finish. Taste follows nose with a trace of pith and the background and a light herbal bitterness at the finish. Mouthfeel is light-medium with a pleasant, even carbonation. Overall, tasty and delicate. A top-notch NEIPA.
