Consumed 4/27/23

Golden yellow with some orange hues, very hazy, medium sized head that fades to wisps and retains a small collar
Distinctively Julius at its core, floral citrus, juicy citrus, tangerine, orange, orange juice, ruby red grapefruit, herbal hops, green and leafy hops, pineapple, mango, loads of banana, both fresh, ripe banana chunks and dried, candied banana, some banana candy, some candy-like fruity sweetness but in moderation, pale malts, finishes fairly clean with some lingering hops and fruity esters
Medium body, smooth, low carbonation

Another day, another variant of a Tree House classic. The addition of orange here is pretty subtle compared to the banana. It's an interesting combination of fresh banana and some banana candy. Like the other variants, this does not really improve on Julius, but it's lovely.

 

This one pours a hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like orange, tangerine, pineapple, caramelized and candied banana, orange creamsicle, and some light pine.

I don’t necessarily know if I’d be able to tell that this has orange added, but the banana is a clear and unique addition, adding some caramelized earthiness to the soft, juicy, and pillow Julius everything knows.

This is soft, creamy, and quite drinkable.

This is another one that I couldn’t have a ton of, but I certainly enjoy it.

 

 

 

Picked-up two cans at Tree House in Sandwich for about twelve dollars. My three hundred and seventh brew from these guys. Canned on date of 3/22. Way too much Nana for me.

Pours hazy, gold in color with one half inch head. Taste is big banana, orange, and mango with a touch of vanilla. Medium body, moderate low carbonation, slightly sweet. Best orange beer from Tree House so far. I like the combination with the banana. Still retains Julius flavor.

This baby is a true freshie - 5 days old!

Julius with orange and banana.

Well, I am definitely getting the orange. The nose smells like an orange creamsicle. The flavor starts with the same orange creamsicle upfront but gets pithy on the finish.

I'm getting a little banana on the flavor but that might be more power of suggestion than anything else.

From a 16oz can dated 03/21/23. From the Tree House website: “Fusion is a rendition of Julius brewed with orange and banana! Sometimes the rules need to be bent in service of a great day. Wearing your pajamas well into the afternoon, taking the long route home to finish a podcast, or in this case–breakfast for dinner. We took two staples of a complete breakfast and blended them into nothing short of a hop bomb. The burst of citrus you’ve come to expect from Julius is bolstered by the addition of these unsung heroes of the A.M. We taste oranges so ripe you have to eat them over the sink, old fashioned banana moon pies, and sugared grapefruits. The beer you are holding is a delight and is the result of our ever refining foray into thoughtful additions of the finest purées. We hope you enjoy this riff on a Tree House classic as much as we do!” Tasty but maybe a tad too much banana?
