Consumed 12/13/19

A: Pale tangerine orange with some honey tones - hazy - pours with a medium sized white head, fades to a few wisps but retains a small collar that leaves some nice rings of lacing

S: At first impression, sweet fruit - tangerine and orange juice with some sugar-topped ruby red grapefruit - tropical aromas, with mango and some pineapple - some light herbal notes, leafy hops, some woodsy aromas - definitely sweet overall, but not clear if it is the hops or the malt base, but it's probably a combination

T: Basically a tropical fruit juice topped off with more sugar - candied orange, mandarin slices, tangerine, with a hint of grapefruit - some floral and lightly oily citrus - slightly herbal and slightly dank hops - mango, pineapple, maybe some peach or apricot - an undercurrent of sweetness, which is not as borderline unpleasant as in Super Treat, but it's there (and clearly intentional) - touches of earth, low-medium bitterness

M: Medium body, smooth if not a bit slick, finish could be cleaner

O: Sometimes the original is better

I don't recall being particularly fond of Super Treat, yet I somehow gave it an overall score of 4.02. Oh well, I've never obsessed too much on scoring anyway. Regardless, I enjoy Treat more than Super Treat, with the latter just being too much. I still don't particularly love Treat, but I'd probably drink it again.

Pours a nice hazy yellow color with a strong white lacing. The smell of the beer is soft and citrusy. The taste of the beer is creamy yet bitter in the finish, great balance. The feel is smooth and soft. Overall this beer is pretty damn good.

Great artwork on the can which shows a hops lolly pop. Poured into glass from the tallboy take home can. Very smooth finish and feel on the tongue for an imperial PA. Citrus and hops on the pallet for a fantastic beer.

Canned on 9/5. Poured to Glass on 9/21.
A: Looks like a Peach Juice. Thin clouds and disappeared quickly.
S: Tangelin, peach, pineapple in front.
T: First sip remained Fluffy, light creaminess. Then Mango, pineapple and full of tropical fruits notes. Hop bitterness is quite sure but not to much strong. Balance is enjoyable.
O: Quite unique balanced IIPA. Personally, compare to "Super Treat", Treat is better.
ABV: 8.1%

The nose of this beer is a veritable fruit basket. Fruit tastes abound, mango most prominently, orange and grapefruit in support. Absolutely delicious hazy golden delight. Treat yourself!

16oz can: This one pours a milky golden yellow color. A bit of a white head that leaves some lacing. This one has a big juicy nose. All kinds of tropical fruits, but some mango, orange and pineapple sitting on top. The taste is great. Full, juicy tropical hop flavors, with a rich body. Aptly named.

Always nice when you trade for some beer you're not even interested in (old lady's request) and your guy throws in some Treehouse for you to bang. This was part of the unicorn farts trade.

Pours a hazy yellow 1/2" white head that looks like a screwdriver (vodka/orange juice). The aroma is a treat, put all the stone and tropical fruits together and that is what this beer smells like. Seems like Mosaic hops and in a large quantity. Very nice nose on this one.

Taste was delicious. Bitterness subdued relative to the massive amount of fruit flavors in the tropical and stone fruit vein. Funny when you want to hate a beer you don't have any access to but end up acknowledging it is world class. Fuckers. Body is soft and light. Hides the alcohol amazingly well, Tree House and Moonraker just nail these double ipas in that regard. The waves of hoppy fruitiness don't cease until the beer is all gone. I might bag on $5 cans, but I'd pay that every time for this beer, its that damn good.

Can (one off) from De Bierkoning, canned 07/19/2019. Pours a very cloudy/milky orange-juice colour and a frothy white head with a little bit retention. Aroma is boasting of tropical & citrus fruits and dank hops. Retronasal follows this, although perhaps a bit more dankness. Flavour is moderate sweet with light bitterness and fruit. Medium bodied. Soft carbonation. Drinks very easy. Long finish with lots of hops without being very bitter. Another winner from Tree House.

16oz draft pour at Tree House, poured into a 16oz clear plastic cup.

The beer pours a bright golden straw color, hazy and turbid with nice apricot and honey hues with a soft pillow of white head, about a finger with modest retention and soapy lacing. The aroma is excellent, loads of tropical hops, papaya, mango, pineapple with a nice tangy Valencia orange profile, sweet yeast, lightly floral with pale dough. The flavors echo the nose well, tangy orange juice, bright and tropical mango and peach purée, papaya, pineapple, wildflower and dank green raw hop leaf that offers a touch of bitterness to bring this into better balance while finishing with sweet yeast, pale dough and mineral water. The mouthfeel is excellent, coating and creamy with a heavier medium body, almost chewy with a sweet finish.


Verdict: An excellent juicy IPA from Treehouse. Super bright and clean with a great expression of tropical punch that is super drinkable and refreshing.

Canned 6 days ago.

Noticeably sweeter than the many other Tree House DIPAs I've had. Has a strong orange/peach/apricot/mango puree thing going on in both the aroma and flavor palate. Rounded out by the classic soft TH yeast character. Just a little too sweet to really shine

Acquired three cans from my daughter who decided she was not a fan of it.

Poured from the 16 oz. can dated 6/13/19 into a Tree House stemmed tulip.

a: Opaque yellow with a half finger thick white head which receded quickly to thin surface foam and patchy to dense lacing.

s; Light fruit cup.

t; Citrus leaning to white grapefruit, dry finish with slight lingering bitterness.

m: lighter side of medium, good body and carbonation tingle. The moderate plus ABV (8.1) is very well concealed.

o; Originally offered as an autumn IPA, this seems more like a solid session brew more suited for summer, yet the stated 8.1% ABV is not in evidence, which could make it a little dangerous.

Poured into Teku from can dated 6/13/19. This is a very good IPA that is a bit more subtle than their other NE IPAs like Julius. Very smooth, notes of pineapple and mango. Very drinkable for an 8.1%ABV.

Perhaps my favorite of the regularly available juice bombs from Treehouse. This one never disappoints, and it's dangerously drinkable considering its ABV. It tastes too juicy to notice the alcohol. Although the labels come in many different colors, the beer is the same.

Poured from a 16oz can dated 5/1/19 to a Nonic.
This beer is a doppelganger for filtered pineapple juice. Pours out milky/chalky yellow with a frothy head. Okay, pineapple juice shouldn't have a head, but it fades within a few minutes. I guess the juice shouldn't lace the glass so beautifully either.
The aroma continues the ruse, pineapple , just maybe not as sweet.
Put it in your mouth and the fantasy fades, but in a good way. This is a beer, a fruity, well carbonated beer with a hint of alcohol, but less than you would expect from an 8.1%. Other flavors come to play. While there is an illusion of pineapple, you can sense orange and mango. You get the illusion the end is just sugar, but wow, the hops kick in and dry you right out well after the end of the sip. All in all a great representation of a "hazy IPA" or NEIPA, but a super example of what Tree House is most known for.

16oz can poured into a globe.

A: Dull golden color with milky haze. Two fingers of white head settle in after a bit. Looks rather like a Lina colada, though a couple shades more yellow.

S: Orange creamsicle, star fruit, pineapple, peach, lychee, green and a little bit grassy. Lemon meringue pie. Pie crust sort of malt aroma.

T: A melange of tropical fruit flavors up front. Pear, pineapple, star fruit, white grapefruit. Orange creamsicle. Green and grassy hop flavors build on the mid palate. Hint of sweet onion. Doughy malt, shortbread. Bitterness builds to a modestly firm level. Long and spicy/herbal hop finish.

M: Medium body, full and lush. A bit chewy. Some mildly gripping hop astringency. Gently prickling carbonation.

O: Solid. Hops show some dimension, and there’s just the right amount of bitterness in play. A very easy drinker.

color is hazy yellow with some white foam

smell is subdued tropical citrus mixed in with earthy hops

taste follows the nose

medium carbonation

mouthfeel is full and creamy

not a pungent as some other TH beers, this one was a little lacking for me when it comes to the fruity/hop punch that I normally expect.

A:
It pours a milky yellow with a couple fingers of tiny-bubbled, creamy white head. Okay retention; some lacing. (4.25)

S:
Spicy, fruity with tropical sweetness, earthy/almost spicy hops. (4)

T:
Follows the aroma with more fruitiness, really a salad of different sweet hop/earthy flavors. Very hard to describe. (4.25)

M:
That classic Tree House feel. Creamy, moderate carbonation, vaguely dry finish, incredibly drinkable, no detectable alcohol. (4.5)

O:
Very tasty, very interesting beer.
This is a cool one. It looks and feels as good as most of the others I've had from Treehouse. The aroma and flavor, though, are a crazy mix of earthy and fruity and I don't know what else. Like many solid beers in my opinion, there is a nice balance of vaguely sweet/bitter/tart/earthy hop character that comes across as a unified front despite being a melange or different characters. In a word, it was "together". Very enjoyable. Interesting. (4.25)
