Wonderment
Tree House Brewing Company

 

16oz can dated 12/13/22.

Pours cloudy yellow with an inch-plus head of white. Peach, orange, mango, grape in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Big juice on the palate with minimal malt or bitterness. Peach, white grape, apricots, mango. Finishes with heavy tropicals.

Mellow and creamy for treehouse. Some fruit and the wine they mention, but not strong flavor.

Pours milky, pale gold in color with three quarter inch head. Taste is white grape and mango. Medium body, moderate carbonation, slightly bitter. Nice but not remarkable Tree ipa. Solid, soft, tasty...did not need four though.

Picked-up a single can as part of a mixed four pack at Tree House in Sandwich for about twenty dollars. My two hundred and eighty fifth brew from these guys. Canned on date of 12/13. Very good.

Another pickup from that early 2022 Tree House acquisition.

Pours an ugly beige color. Makes a smallish loose bubbled 1/4" high white head. I just can't give this a good appearance score, even while acknowledging the style limitations in terms of appearance. Heck I even like the label design and it still comes up short. The aroma has a pushing of Galaxy and Citra hops more than it does Nelson and Strata. Pineapple and tangerine. The others just muddle that with some berries and weed in lesser stature and quantity. But it smells nice.

The taste and mouth feel are the beers best atttributes. Nelson still seems like such a minor part here despite it usually having a leading role in ipas. Tangerine, passion fruit, pineapple, green apple and strawberry. The body does a good job making 8.2% pretty crushable. Doesn't seem all that thick of a hazy base compared to a lot of what TH does. Enough bitterness and barley body to keep this one in a more desireable position for my tastes. Also this was another one that held up good at the 100 day point. Ugly but good beer here.

L - yeah yeah, I know I'm a few months late with this one, but better late than never! Fortunately, I had some tasting notes when it was just a few days old. Excellent can art; very cozy and warming. Pours a glowing 2700K with peachy pink fringes. Couple fingers of head, ranging from dense, compacted microbubbles at the bottom and blossoming into big, fragile bubbles that desperately try to hold themselves together.

S - sweet bubblegum and guava. Peach rings, nectarine, and chardonnay. Smells juicy and inviting.

T - peachy pop up front that evolves into watermelon bubblegum. Getting some serious younger years nostalgia. Strawberry banana kiwi smoothie. There's this weird, almost minty vibe that is just delicate enough to keep it fresh on the tongue. Peppermint? Or Mint chocolate chip ice cream? Mixes well with the hoppiness and yields a surprisingly festive result. Slight grain on the finish with some herbal bitterness. Well balanced and invigorating.

F - on the lighter side for 8.2%, but the perfect level of drinkability and fullness to make this one a downer. Well, upper? I mean, I guess alcohol is technically a depressant, so yeah, let's go with downer. All I'm trying to poorly say here is that I be slamming these back, yo.

O - does a great job eschewing the sloppy, shameless juice bomb vibe that makes you feel gross with how un-beer-like some of these TH beers can be. Stellar job. Embodies the Christmas spirit in a fun package (hey-- eyes up here) and makes me yearn for colder weather and multi-colored lights. Hope this one comes around again next year.
