Couch Tour
Tree House Brewing Company

 

 

 

Yeah, I love Tree House (who doesn't?) but this beer that I traded for a few months back was just a bit underwhelming. I was expecting a full-on juice bomb that would readily leave me wanting more but instead, ended up with a decent brew that was a bit too mundane up front and exotic in the back as the label turned out to be this brew's best attribute.

No surprise that this looked like orange marmalade since it tasted quite like it as there was plenty of foamy head to top it off. It settled slowly and left behind hints of rings near the top of my pint glass and a thick sheet near the bottom. Herbal and tropical on the nose, this felt like something exotic with a bit of medicine and flowers in the mix. Candied orange, strawberry patch, more marmalade, and deep tangerine cream emerged in the taste as this had to be fully warmed up to be truly enjoyed. Plenty soft, this was missing the orange juice pulp in it's description as that would have enhanced this nicely.

Plenty of booze in this although this felt stronger than it was in actuality. Dated 3/17 with "YOU GOING ON TOUR?" written above it, this was a nice beer that wasn't quite up to their more popular offerings. Enjoy this on your couch anytime, especially if you can't actually be there. Worth a go once to kick back with...

 

 

Standard hazy India pale ale look, generally good. Strong citrus pith aroma, but not much in the way of orange juice (like the can label suggests). The taste follows the same lines as the smell; very bitter. Heavy body; velvety and acidic.

A good double Inida pale ale but not really highlighting the advertised pulpy orange juice or tropical candy aspects touted on the can label.

 

 

 

 

 

 

16 oz can poured into a tulip glass. Pours a hazy yellow/orange with a fluffy, long-lasting head and nice lacing. Aroma and flavor feature waves of creamy wheat/malt with a huge hit of citrusy hops. Lots of candied orange peel, orange marmalade, and ripe tropical fruit. Overall a really nice NEIPA, not quite at the level of the best TH beers but unique and well worth trying.
