Silk is an American Double IPA crafted with a proprietary yeast developed in the Winter of 2023. It represents an incredible leap for our unique and original IPA program at Tree House.
It is constructed to be a vehicle for intense hop biotransformation and lupulin expression in a way that is wholly different but equally satisfying to our iconic House yeast.
Brewed with a multinational blend of hops sourced from the United States, Australia, and New Zealand—Citra, El Dorado, Eclipse, and Peacharine—Silk pours a gorgeous milky yellow color into your glass with intensely vibrant and expressive notes of mixed tropical fruit, ripe summer stone fruit, and citrus gummies.

Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass.
Turbid and custard yellow solid body, slightly hinting green as well. Bright rich tall four finger booming head, with thick staying power, and light white colored coating lacing to boot. Spider and crackling lace as it settle to leave a thick rich white cap.
Booming aroma. Big earthy tones and a real white peach like flavor that nearly senses fuzzy. Muted citrus, but also a real thick malt flour note that seems like a dense bread loaf hitting you over the head. Quite an impressive nose here.
Ridiculous palate. Thick bodied, almost milkshake like but without syrupy tones, but with an excellent sweetness. The palate seems to accent an almost milkshake IPA quality, with rich vanilla and excellent fruit touches of orange citrus, pineapple, and a bursting bitter pine that cuts the sweet angles like hot butter. Minty finishing to add excellent accentuated qualities to the flavors.
Just a great bold and bursting double.

Perhaps one of the more run of the mill IIPAs I’ve had from Tree House. Very herbal edge that detracts from the juiciness without benefiting in complexity. Slightly astringent. Flavor profile is mostly a tropical and citrus melange.
Mouthfeel is a definite standout. For a brewery famous for smooth creamy IPAs, this one is exceptional.

16oz can dated 6/30/23.
Pours cloudy yellow with an inch-plus head of white. Plenty of tattered lacing and persistent retention. Unripe peach and orange pith in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft, creamy mouthfeel. Candied peach, orange, mango on the palate. Finishes juicy with minimal malt or bitterness.

Poured into a 13 oz Teku glass canned on 6/30/23. Pours a very attractive hazy milky yellow with a solid finger sticky white head that leaves thick streaks of lace, with nice retention. 5
Aroma is tangerine, mango, passionfruit, honeydew, apricot, and grapefruit rind. 4.5
Taste follows tangerine, mango, passionfruit, honeydew, apricot, and a little grapefruit in the bold finish. 4.5
Mouthfeel is above average, soft gentle almost creamy carbonation, not sticky or dry, and at 8% it has big flavor but easy going down. 5
Overall this is another very impressive beer from one of the best. 4.75

Had on tap at Sandwich. Pours murky, pale yellow in color with one quarter inch head. Taste is peach and white wine. Medium body, moderate low carbonation, slightly bitter. Nice and smoothed over dipa. Nice beer to sit and relax with. Better than expected given the recent dipas.
