Big One
Tree House Brewing Company

 

Big One is the first canned triple IPA from Tree House Brewing. It currently has a score of 95 on BA, a world-class beer. Big One pours a hazy golden color with a white head that leaves behind a nice lacing. On the nose, it has a strong hop aroma with notes of citrus, pine, and tropical fruit. The flavor is just as impressive as the aroma, with a well-balanced blend of hop bitterness and sweet maltiness. The hops provide a noticeable bitterness that is counterbalanced by a smooth, bready malt base. The finish is clean and crisp, leaving a pleasant hoppy aftertaste. Big One has a medium to full body that is coating and satisfying on the palate. The carbonation level is moderate, adding a gentle fizziness to the mouthfeel. Overall, I highly recommend Big One Triple IPA from Tree House Brewing. It is a well-crafted beer that will appeal to both hop-heads and those who prefer a more balanced flavor profile. This is a beer that you won't regret trying.

 

 

 

 

16oz can courtesy of Roguer. Canned on October 13, 2022. A TIPA after a Monday? Could be dangerous.

Poured into the glass, this was kinda unappealing looking. Turbid, colored somewhere between mustard and orange, with a very weak looking bubbly, beige colored head.

Big, sweet melon and stonefruit nose, in that order.

Big, sweet, and uncompromising in the flavor department, with a lot of heat and a citric acid burn on the back end.

Fairly creamy mouth feel.

This kind of beer is definitely got its fans, and there are a lot of them. I'm just not one of them though. It's just not my thing. It's a bit too sweet and with a bit too much heat for me, even accounting for it being a triple ipa. My thanks to Roguer for this. I was very happy to try it. It's just not my jam.

 

 

Had a single draft at Tree House in Sandwich for about eight dollars. My two hundred and seventy seventh brew from these guys. Solid brew, not too boozy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Traded for this last night here in town as one of my good friends made a run up to Tree House recently. It's beers like this that make beer enjoyable as this was quite complex and deep underneath it's slick and juicy surface, as it drank quite nicely for something so strong!

Like most beers of this style that I've had, this poured a muted goldenrod as it was plenty hazy and topped off with a sufficient, dense foam. A ton of beautiful and dense rings of layered lacing was left behind as I worked my way through this as it easily covered a majority of my pint glass. Loads of dank melon, cantaloupe, ginger spice, and exotic hops in the nose as the taste closely followed suit. Ripe lime, citrus and tropical fruit zest, and acrid grapefruit could be felt on the palate once this fully warmed up as this had a grassy and herbal undertone that gave this a nice amount of earthiness and spice to complement the fruit flavors. Overripe fruit and lemon zest lingered in the aftertaste as this was quite smooth given the amount of hops and heft present.

Canned on 8/11 with "IT'S A BIG DEAL" written above it, this was just like the label in the sense that there was a lot going on but was quite coherent when viewed from afar. Never really felt the orange juice or mango with the exception of the juicy feel that this had, as the carbonation and balance were a bit subdued relative to the tang and twang that ultimately stuck with me. Once again, this was a winner from Tree House that I'd easily reach for again!

The triple IPA has a sharp edge to it. It rolls off the tongue like pop rocks of flavor and hopiness. It’s delicious and sipable. I did not get a strong smell from it but it looks exactly how it tastes: hazy and juicy.

Standard hazy Treehouse look, a little on the brighter yellowish brown side. Nice white head that falls decently quick, but leaves a nice film on top and good lacing on the glass. Dank tropical nose, with a big whiff of hop resin. A little sticky booze smell in the background, but mostly hidden by the tropical notes. Taste follows, dank, resiny, orange lemon grapefruit mango. Much more noticeable booze in this one than a lot of TH offerings, but it's nice and doesn't detract from the hoppy resin that is the star of the show. Creamy mouthfeel. Dangerous

Two months old. Can to wine glass.

L: Pours a full and hazy yellow with a fluffy white head that leaves a good amount of lacing. No floaters.

S: Fresh citrus fruits. Mainly orange, grapefruit and lemon. Not as intense as expected.

T: Also orange and grapefruit, but rather lime instead of lemon. Everything tastes riper and sweeter than it smells. Mango is also there. Hoppy and grassy. Slightly zesty, slightly bitter.

F: Very full and juicy. Slightly boozy. Still quite soft. Medium carbonation.

O: Very smooth and flavorful TIPA that could easily be mistaken for one of their higher ABV DIPAs. Great beer.
