The snow is liable to fall any day here in New England, leaving the landscape blanketed in a peaceful and comforting embrace of white.

Pouring an opaque yellow color in the glass, Bomb Cyclone carries intense notes of citrus, coconut, guava gummies, and strawberry bubble gum. There is a pleasant bitterness on the finish that beautifully entices your next sip.

An extra kettle and dry-hopped rendition of our winter seasonal Snow, Bomb Cyclone only comes around once a year, and we will relish this beer the way we do a deep and fluffy snowfall in the dead of winter - enjoy!

2 months old. Can to wine glass.

Look: Pours a full hazy yellow with a foamy white head leaving a good amount of lacing. No floaters.

Smell: Citrusy with notes of lime and grapefruit paired with a subtle orange sweetness.

Taste: A fruit basket with ripe citrus fruits (here again orange, grapefruit and lime), strawberries, white peach and grapes on the one hand, resinous, even piney notes on the other hand. Medium (bubblegum) sweetness, slightly zesty and a bitter finish.

Feel: Full and juicy. Medium carbonation. Very smooth.

Overall: This is a great beer. Very complex, yet so smooth and drinkable. The typical citrusy TH notes are very well paired with other, sweeter fruits that you wouldn’t expect to be combined. However, they feel like a perfect match as they are perfectly balanced.

Poured from a can into a teku glass
Appearance – The beer pours hazy orange yellow color with a big thick head of white foam. The head has an amazing level of retention, fading slowly over time and leaving a ton of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is heavy of a tangerine and orange smell mixed with notes of guava and mango. Along with these smells comes a touch of berry and a bit of cocoanut. Other aromas of a grapefruit and herbal hop nature mix within. There are also notes of pine and floral perfume and a little bit of yeast.
Taste – The taste starts out with a quite malty and bready flavor paired with a good showing of tangerine, orange, and guava. There is also some lighter notes of coconut and mango and a little bit of papaya. Right from the start the hop is rather pronounced with a decent showing of grapefruit and herbal hop flavors. As the taste advances, there is more hop, with the herbal getting stronger and joined by some pine and floral hop flavors. There is also a bit of berry and some yeast and must that join in, leaving one with a slightly more malty and moderately hopped taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is very thick and chewy with a moderate level of carbonation. For the tastes and the style, the feel is pretty good and makes for a nice sipper.
Overall - A quite nice and flavorful, more malty, and slightly more dank hopped IPA. A well-crafted brew overall.

Canned 8 days ago.

L -- Creamy opaque orange. Two fingers of dense white head with good retention and lacing. The usual
S -- Danker than typical Tree House. Diesel, orange pith, coconut cream, strawberry candy, maybe a hint of white peach from the yeast profile
T -- Definitely seems to have some of that Sabro-driven coconut and lemongrass character alongside creamy citrus notes and a dank herbaceousness. Like with the aromas, a bit more pungent than typical
F -- Soft, fluffy, with some lasting bitterness on the finish
O -- Not bad! Although they don't state the hops I'm guessing that Sabro is involved here, which tends to add a unique note to what are otherwise often same-y offerings

Bright orange haze. Nose is red berries and bubblegum. Taste is bright and tropical. Fizzy strawberry, sweet citrus juice, grapefruit rind, and bubblegum. Velvet mouthfeel. Finishes a little dry and more bitter than you'd expect. Super drinkable.

16 oz. can dated 01/18/23

Pours opaque yellow gold with a fluffy creamy white foam head. Smells like fresh citrus, orange, grapefruit, strawberry, coconut, vanilla, cedar, pineapple, mango, guava, hints of bready wheat malt, with dank earthy herbal floral pine. Tastes like a coconut vanilla milkshake, bright strawberry, guava gummies, grapefruit, orange citrus, lime, lemon, nectarine, pineapple, mango, hints of bready wheat malt, some cedar wood, with dank earthy herbal floral pine. Feels medium plus bodied, creamy smooth with moderate low carbonation. Overall a real nice DIPA.

Bomb Cyclone from Tree House Brewing pours a hazy, golden orange color that is typical of New England-style IPAs. The beer has a fluffy, white head that lingers throughout the drinking experience, leaving behind thick lacing on the glass. The appearance of the Bomb Cyclone is inviting and visually appealing, with a beautiful combination of colors and textures. The haziness of the beer is a nod to the juiciness and hop profile of the beer, which is a hallmark of New England-style IPAs. The aroma of Bomb Cyclone is intensely fruity, with notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and pine, it is very complex and layered. The front of the nose is dominated by juicy fruit notes, mango, pineapple, and passionfruit. These fruity aromas are complemented by citrusy notes of grapefruit and lemon, as well as a slight hint of pine. As you take a deeper whiff, the aroma becomes even more complex, with hints of earthy and floral undertones. I detect a subtle spiciness in the aroma, which adds a unique twist to the overall profile. The aroma of Bomb Cyclone is incredibly pleasant and inviting. It has a strong, fruity character that is balanced by a subtle hop bitterness, making it a highly drinkable beer. It has a very bright and fresh aroma, making it a refreshing and flavorful IPA. When it comes to taste, Bomb Cyclone is a well-balanced beer that is both sweet and bitter. The initial sip is dominated by a burst of juicy flavors, including grapefruit, mango, and orange, which is followed by a pleasant bitterness that lingers on the palate. The bitterness is not overpowering and is balanced by a subtle sweetness that makes the beer easy to drink. The mouthfeel of Bomb Cyclone by Tree House Brewing is creamy, smooth, and well-balanced. The moderate carbonation level and the use of oats and wheat give it a soft and velvety texture, while the abundance of hop flavors makes it juicy and fruity. Overall, Bomb Cyclone is an outstanding beer that lives up to Tree House Brewing's reputation for excellence. It is a must-try for any IPA lover and a beer that is definitely worth seeking out.

Poured from a 16oz can 01/18/23 to a Nonic at fridge temperature.
An opaque glowing apricot body sits below a pure white head. Lacing is quite nice.
This is a dank smelling beer.
Taste is more citrusy with a dank musty finish. There is a pretty sweet start of apricot and guava, dank middle, dry finish, apricot/guava returns in the afterglow.
Mouthfeel is medium to large with good carbonation.
I liked this, but it's not as good as other TH NEIPAs.
