Poured from a can into a snifter
Appearance – The beer pours a super hazy orange amber color with a thick head of off-white foam. The head has a great level of retention, fading over time and leaving a moderate sum of streaky lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is massive of hop. There is a heavy herbal and floral hop smell mixed with tons of pine and some notes of earth. Other sweeter aromas of light tropical fruits and a bit of caramel are there as well. Notes of fresh cut grass and green vegetation mix in there as well, and with a nice bready base, a very robust and highly enticing aroma is produced overall.
Taste – The taste starts out with a thick bready malt flavor with a touch of orange and tangerine citrus and some light caramel malt sweetness. The hop is huge from the start with tons of herbal and pine mixed with a bit of grapefruit. As the taste advances the grapefruit fades, while some light earthiness and some grass and hay join in. There is a touch of peach and apricot that join the sweeter citrus, giving a touch more sweet. At the same time there are some light spice flavors of pepper and coriander as well as notes of grain and some rye. A little bit of warming alcohol joins in at the end, leaving one with a slightly more dank and delicious taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is super thick with a rather low carbonation level. Very nice for the triple IPA style and the dank hop flavors.
Overall – A rather fantastic brew overall. Definitely one to search out.

Pours a supremely hazy orange color with a frothy, creamy white head that coats the glass. Beautiful TH hazy. The nose is flush with mango, pineapple, papaya, and tangerine aromas.
Mango is forward on the taste and absolutely delicious, with pineapple and papaya following for an exotic twist, and tangerine and a nice oat flavor at the back of the palate. Wow.
Big, chewy, creamy mouthfeel on this howitzer of a NETIPA. Yet another fantastic beer from the hazy masters.

Beautiful beer for the style.
Incredible and lush aroma: overripe fruit, especially mango, melon, pineapple, papaya, and tangerine, along with a faint trace of bright green kitchen herbs.
Mouthfeel is extraordinary, especially considering the ABV. Tree House can't quite completely hide the alcohol sting, but otherwise it's creamy yet lively and drinkable.

Brewers notes: (Triple IPA, 9.4% ABV, 16oz) The Biggest One is a triple IPA brewed and dry-hopped with a preposterous amount of hops. It tastes like the nectar of freshly pressed oranges, mixed tropical fruit, and juicy summer stone fruit with a massive and coating mouthfeel. It's a Tree House hoppy beer gluttony in the best way possible.
