Blender - Creamsicle

Poured into a 13 oz teku glass canned on 2/14/22. Pours a dark hazy orange with a half finger sticky off white head that leaves a bunch of thin streaks of lace, with excellent retention. 4.5

Aroma mango, peach, orange sherbet, passionfruit, and apricot rather inviting nose to say the least. 4.5

Taste follows the mango is clearly the lead dog, with plenty of support with peach, orange sherbet, passionfruit, and apricot following. 4.75

Mouthfeel is above average, soft creamy carbonation, not sticky or dry, and at 6.8% it drinks bigger in body and flavor, but is crazy approachable. 4.75

Overall this for me is probably the most consistently amazing brewery for this style so my expectations are always very high and they rarely don’t deliver. 4.5

16oz can dated 9/3/21.

Pours hazy gold with a half inch head of white. Persistent retention with spongy lacing. Mango, peach, and vanilla in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Orange, peach, and mango sherbet on the palate. Finishes dry with minimal malt or bitterness and lingering vanilla with tropical fruit.

 

been years since i had a tree house beer, feeling lucky that my boy shared this can with me and my crew, a hazy ipa with all kinds of mango and vanilla in it, but still with an orange profile from the hops giving it the old fashioned creamsicle vibe. i didnt really know these guys were doing the whole adjunct thing, thought all their flavors were hop derived, guess i dont know anything anymore. this is hazy and dense looking from the can, too heady and lively to be sloppy, but pretty sedimented and cloudy. the nose is great, vanilla ahead of fruit or hops, almost a vanilla ipa to me right away, natural and right from the pod, super natural. the fruit is secondary, sweet and nice with the vanilla. i usually hate all this stuff with my hops, but its super cohesive here, all of it works so well, not sure what the hops are, maybe citra driven, soft and agreeable with the other elements, no real bitterness to me. i would have called just orange on the flavor, but the mango is most obvious in the finish, lightly tangy and tropical, again accented by the vanilla, which is on the edge of being overdone, heavy and sweet through the whole beer, almost like there is some lactose in here exacerbating it. the whole drink is sweet, the malt is pale but there is almost a confectioners sugar thing there, and this ends up being a small doses thing for me due to the sweetness through the fniish. i love the hops and how they work in with the mango and vanilla, better than what almost everyone else is doing with these ingredients, but overall this isnt the type of hoppy beer im into, and im not sure i love this direction for these guys, who certainly dont need the adjuncts to make some of the best ipa in the land. fun to taste though, especially in idaho, im sure not much of their beer makes it out this way. its good to have friends...

 

 

 

Picked-up a single can at Tree House in Sandwich for about six dollars. My one hundred and eighty fifth brew from these guys. I dig the Creamsicle beers, liked this a bit more than regular Blender.
