L - sick holographic can bro. Pours a mature orange color, whatever the hell that means. Head for days, maybe even some legs while we're at it.
S - sweet vanilla candy. Pairs well with the guava for what I imagine will be sweet-ass beer. Hopefully not a sweet ass-beer.
T - guava puree punches potently presently. Vanilla bean ice cream mellows the stringency that often accompanies puree. Freeze-dried mango and white bread. Finishes peachy and sweet with minimal bitterness.
F - on the thinner side for Tree House fare. Feels like the adjuncts didn't blend as well as hoped. Still, the carbonation is lively amongst a sea of foamy creaminess. It's still top tier.
O - not as syrupy as expected, which gives room for the adjuncts to shine without assailing the senses. It was not an ass-beer. I'm calling that a win.

Picked up two cans at Tree House in Sandwich for about thirteen dollars. Canned on date of 4/3/24. My three hundred and forty eighth brew from these guys. Very good.

12oz can dated 11/28/23.
Pours cloudy gold with an inch-plus head of white. Plenty of tattered lacing and persistent retention. Extremely pungent aromatics with guava, mango.
Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Ripe, lush tropicals on the palate with minimal malt or bitterness. Guava, mango, orange sherbet. Finishes juicy and ripe.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of the last fruited King Julius variant, the Coco King Creamsicle. Despite that, I think this one should be better, as most of them have been and it was really the coconut that overwhelmed the last one. Let’s crack it open and find out
Pours a hazy deep gold with 3 fingers of soapy off white head that slowly fades to a cap and leaves decent lacing
The nose is a bit sharp but it’s still pretty balanced despite that. I’m picking up on aromas of earthy guava, peach rings, orange juice, bready malt, vanilla bean, and jammy apricot
This is just a touch flat in taste, but still not too bad all things considered. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting orange zest, pineapple juice, woody hops, vanilla bean, bready malt, earthy guava, and light tangerine. The swallow brings notes of jammy apricot, earthy guava, orange juice, bready malt, woody hops, vanilla bean, and pineapple juice
A medium body pairs with gentle carbonation, resulting in a slick beer. Finishes mostly dry with an odd bitterness
It’s definitely better than the last one, but it’s still just kinda odd. I’m starting to think that the double fruited KJ variants aren’t worth it

Pours hazy, orange gold in color with one inch head. Taste is big guava, vanilla, mango, and orange juice. Medium body, bitter, moderate high carbonation. The vanilla is not as strong here as in other King Creamsicle varieties. Solid beer but will not rush to get this again. Great for most dipas but Tree House has me spoiled.
