In 2014, I brewed an American Pale Ale - Beneficiaries of Chance - to celebrate marrying the love of my life, Lauren. Over the years time it has become a perpetual tradition to honor our bond with a new, celebratory beer to mark the occasion. For our fourth anniversary, I am pleased to offer a new Double IPA, I Have Promises To Keep! It is brewed with copious doses of Nelson and Citra in both the kettle and the dry hop. It tastes and smells strongly of citrus, sweet sauvignon blanc grapes, and gooseberries. It is loaded with flavor and yet maintains an easy drinking, mouth watering appeal. As the years pass by, and bonds grow deeper, it’s vital to reflect upon, and give thanks for, the special people in your life. I sincerely hope that this beer may serve as a vehicle to do so.

Pours an orangeish golden with white head. Not as murky as say a King Julius. Mango, orange zest, and papaya along with some white grape on the nose. It is also very Nelson forward with white grape and black pepper at the forefront. Which is great if you love Nelson but it kinda overwhelms the Citra. Given that this was a marriage beer from Tree House, I was hoping it would be something more harmonious, but the Citra is lost. There isn't the mango, the papaya, the grapefruit that you would expect. It falls a bit flat.

Pours a very hazy pineapple color with a creamy, fluffy white head that is sticky like glue to the glass, tracking all the way down to the bottom. Ripe tangerine and green grape notes primarily, with some pineapple as well and a bit of passion fruit.
The tangerine and and green grape flavors are most prominent and absolutely delicious, and there’s a bit of pineapple and passion fruit and a nice oat sweetness at the back of the palate. Wow, is this good.
The mouthfeel is soft and inviting. There’s a reason Tree House has the status in the beer nerd world that they do, because they keep churning out world class beers, IMHO.
