As a brewer-owned brewery, one of the hallmark attributes of Tree House Brewing Company is continuous evolution, candid self assessment, and progressive hands on experimentation. We are focused on process now more than ever, and have used the recent curiosity beers, including Fifty Nine, to refine and perfect our process while investigating highly specific variables related to mash temperature, our water profile, yeast pitching rates, and pH adjustment methodology. The resulting beer, brewed with a cornucopia of new age and classic American hops, is inspiring! We taste pulpy orange juice, peach nectar, passionfruit, mangosteen, orange starburst, and honeydew melon - a vibrant and unique assortment of flavors, indeed. The mouthfeel on fifty nine is sensual and soft, making it a joy to drink. Fifty Nine stands out as a distinctive and markedly juicy batch of Tree House Double IPA, and one that will certainly serve to elevate our core beers to a new level of finesse, flavor saturation, and drinkability. Enjoy!

In my opinion one of the best curiosities I've had out of the recent ones. Up there with 62 and 56 in my opinion. 59 is tropical and robust, medium bodied. Very creamy feel to it with a creamsicle vibe going on. TH did a fine job with this one.

So. I may be breaking TH "freshness" rules, but wanted to do this for "beer science" . This beer has been in my fridge since I received it close to the release date at the brewery. Pouring a cold 16 oz can into my snifter.
The beer pours a turbid orange juice color with a large rocky bleached white head of 3.5 cm foaming up and actually topping my glass but not running down the side.
The foam fades slowly leaving dense lattice on the glass as it drops down into the beer. Eventually becomes a sticky edge layer and one large island in the center of my glass.
The aroma is apparent and bold right from the pour with a ton of citrus notes, orange and tangerine. I also get mango and peach notes with a little bit of lemon and faint wisps of biscuity malt. Nose seems to be good after "all this time" :)
First sip reveals a soft and smooth texture with gentle rolling carbonation. Body is average thickness and the beer drinks really easy with no hints of the ABV.
Flavor is what the nose predicts with orange and tangerine mixing with mango and a bit of lemon. I get a little bit of pithy rind hop character on the swallow which gives a little bitterness and dries out my palate on each mouthful. Overall I think this beer is pretty solid after 4 months in the fridge. glad to have had the chance to drink one.
