House yeast
The Data Set series is our endeavor to explore a broad spectrum of yeast and how they effect the flavor outcome of our style of beer.
Each batch is crafted with the same base of ultra pale malt and juicy American hops to enable the different attributes of yeast to delineate each flavor profile.
For Data Set # 1, we utilize our House yeast as a control. This will enable us to explore and enjoy the subtle - and not so subtle - differences between each yeast in the project. There is no saying where this series will take us, but one thing is certain: Our curious and creative spirit is alive and well here at Tree House. We hope you enjoy the thrills of fermentation as much as we do!

Overall very smooth and enjoyable - no bitterness, more of a malt presence, and a thick mouthfeel. I could do with a bit more “oomph” in the taste in some way. It is the “base beer” for the series so maybe it’s not going for the wild sides - but certainly enjoyable, coiffable, and worthy of another can, or two for good measure…

Pours a very hazy pineapple color with a frothy off white head that exhibits the ubiquitous TH lacing, i.e., it coats the glass. Lovely beer. The nose has some pineapple, mango, passion fruit, and a
bit of tangerine. Very nice, but it doesn’t “pop” like the typical TH juice bomb.
Lots of mango, pineapple, and passion fruit on the taste, with some tangerine and a nice little sweet oat flavor. Again, very nice, but it doesn’t grab you by your beer nerd family jewels and carry you to the upper echelon of the TH catalog of juice bomb. As the can says, this is the house yeast and the “control” beer in this series, so maybe it’s dialed back a bit.
The mouthfeel is just a bit softer than normal, almost a bit watery. This is still a beer worthy of your time, but I’m curious to see how the balance of this family of beers plays out with the different yeast types.

All my reviews of the Data Set series will be compared to the base beer, as best as possible.
Fairly subdued aroma. Balanced fruitiness, but not a ton stands out. Mostly tropical, along with a touch of citrus.
Similar on the palate. Very juicy but light, given the ABV. Notes of kiwi, banana, wheat, pale dough, melon, and mango. Creamy and smooth, but not quite up to par with Tree House's best.
I can't help but think that Tree House intentionally dialed down the hop selection here to be very tasty, but not anywhere near their best, so that the yeast selection will stand out more across this series. This is a pretty damn good beer in its own right, but it's more important to set the baseline.

Picked-up a single can as part of a mixed four pack of this series for about twenty dollars. My three hundred and seventh brew from these guys. Canned on date of 3/10/23. Solid, not outstanding.
