Juli-ish
Tree House Brewing Company

 

 

This is absolutely incredible for an American Pale Ale. They really nailed it. All of the hop juiciness that you'd expect from Julius. Velvety mouthfeel. Great smell.

 

Almost all the flavor of Julius but with less body. It's amazing how Tree House has taken its core beers and extended each into a family, going both bigger and smaller, while retaining the essence of the original beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tree House Brewing Co. "Juli-ish"
16 fl. oz. can coded " >> 04/04/2210:05:26". Sampled on 05/13/22

Notes via stream of consciousness: It's poured a cloudy golden-brass-orange colored body beneath a finger's width of off white foam. The aroma is broght and welcoming. It's floral and fruity with notes of orange, grapefruit, mango, and peach. The taste is similar. The malt is basic with what seems like 2-row, wheat, and oats. It remains floral, and a touch piney, although it's definitely resinous. I'm finding notes of orange, mango, nectarine, passionfruit, apple, lemon, and distant grapefruit. A moderate but stiff bitterness runs through it and along with some hop burn it finishes quite dry with some fruit and resin lingering. In the mouth it's medium-light in body but with a fluffy feel due to all of the extra proteins in it. It's gently crisp and a little zesty due to the hop acids. The head held up pretty well and it's left thin, craggy rings of lacing behind with each sip. This is solidly made, and very well balance and rounded. It's not nearly as intense as some of their other beers but it's quite hoppy, satiating, and resfreshing.
Review #7,966

16oz can poured into a snifter.

A: Dull brassy golden color with opaque haze. Bubbly white head forms well at a finger and a half in height and sticks around for a while before settling. Thin but clump rings of lacing have some serious sticking power.

S: Pulpy orange juice and peach jump out on the nose. Bursts of juicy tropical fruits like cantaloupe and pineapple too. Green and grassy undertones. Doughy malt base with some confectioners sugar sweetness.

T: Orange juice, peach, and pineapple up front. Tropical esters. Green and grassy with a mild bitterness up front. Touch of oily pine and hemp seed too. Grain base is not nearly as sweet as the nose suggested. It's more crackery with a mild grainy toast. It dries substantially into the finish with a lingering leafy green, pine, and oily flavor. Modest bitterness that builds to the finish too.

M: Medium bodied. Round and mildly creamy with a slight firmness of texture. Some mild gritty hop astringency, but no burn at all. Carbonation lifts and scrubs with a moderately aggressive prickle.

O: Excellent. All the hop flavor of a good hazy IPA, but in a much lighter and drier "pale ale" package that actually has a strong drinkability factor. Lets face it, most NEIPAs are only appealing for a pint or maybe two. Any more than that and it starts to crowd the stomach and weigh you down. This beer fixes that problem. I've seen a chunk of breweries try to market and sell "hazy session IPAs" and the like, but none were executed as well as this. Finally we have a hazy IPA that I can see myself buy by the dozen and session outside on a hot summer day. Is anyone actually surprised that it was Tree House that finally did it well?

 

 

 

16 ounce can in a stemmed wine glass. About 6 weeks since canned.

Murky white washed orange color with a white cap. Good retention and lacing.

Aroma starts as dry malt and evolves into a pleasant fruit blend. Mango, lemon, and melon, oranges too.

Taste follows the nose and brings dry wood.

Medium body, a bit creamy and juicy. Slightly bitter.

Standard issue TH hop offering toned down a bit.
