Pours a very hazy, almost turbid orange color with a creamy white head that provides big splotches of lacing. Beautiful hazy.

The nose features big aromas of overripe oranges, papaya, and passion fruit, which is exactly where the taste lands with sweet oats on the full, pillowy finish. Absolutely delicious.

This is yet another example of Tree House’s prowess as THE standard for all things hazy.

Deep murk. Mild head. Some residual lacing. Deep, pungeant hop aroma. Taste is a hop punch in the face. Lots of tropical fruits. Delicious. Feel is moderate bodied. Can almost chew the haze. Great beer.

Canned 6/13/23, ‘I AM INEVITABLE I AM ULTIMATE MACHINE’.

Saturated golden color; frothy white carb. Nose loaded w/ ripe orange, pineapple, & hints of guava. There’s a distinctly potent overripeness to the overall aroma, w/ undertones of sweet, floral hops. Palate is full, tropical, grassy, & mildly bitter.

16oz can dated 6/13/23.

Pours murky gold with a short-lived head of white. Minimal retention. Pungent tropicals in the nose with white grape, orange, mango, candied peach. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Orange pith, mango, peach on the palate with minimal malt and a balancing bitterness. Finishes juicy and a bit pithy.
