Black Fern
Tree House Brewing Company

Dense frothy yellow colour, good old stuff from treehouse.

Smell is pungent citrus, dank, grape, diesel.

Taste is the same. Not much sweetness or bitterness, dry juice almost.

Feel is rich and smooth, balanced by medium carbonation.

Brewers notes: New Zealand transforms into a mystical realm as evening descends, with its varied landscapes taking on a magical aura. Mountains tinged with the subtle shades of twilight, transitioning from vibrant pinks and purples to the serene blues and greys of night, blend into the lush plains and dense jungles below. In the cool, shadowy undergrowth of these mountains and hills, the moon emerges, casting a silver sheen over the world, enhancing the sense of mystery that thrives in the encroaching darkness. Black Fern, steeped in indigenous and modern New Zealand culture, is a sight unlike any other across the globe. The undersides of this primeval flora reflect mysterious moonlight, illuminating paths with haunting electricity and revealing trails

Chilled can produces a hazy orange with three fingers of shaving cream foam, streaky lacings

Aroma is orange citrus , white grape

Taste is orange citrus , some dank notes

Smooth , nice hop kiss

Good beer

Orange juice like color with a THICK, frothy white head. Foamy head grips the glass leaving superb lacing!
Nose stone fruit and citrus. Taste is somewhat unremarkable, just smooth citrus flavors. Decent bitterness on palate.

Pours a very hazy pale yellow color with a fluffy white head that provides thick ropes of lacing and a thin cap on the body of the beer. Gorgeous hazy.

The nose features white grapes, grapefruit, ripe oranges, and passion fruit. The taste mirrors these notes, with the ripe oranges, mango, and white grapes most prominent, followed by a subtle sweet oat flavor. Absolutely delicious.

The mouthfeel is full and soft as expected. This is a delightful New Zealand hopped treat that I’d drink anytime.

 

 

Pours a milky yellow with a dense white head. Smell is more restrained than I was expecting, but has typical Tree House notes as well as perhaps a hint of lemon and grape. More bitter than I was expecting too (which is a good thing). It's a subtle beer - at first the bitterness is what you notice, and that lingers throughout the swallow, but is joined by a melange of fruit flavors - definitely the aforementioned grape notes, plus orange, mango and citrus rind. The can doesn't say what yeast is used, but I'm guessing it's either Tree House classic or their newer blend, as it tastes (and smells) unmistakably Tree House. Medium body - a bit less than many Tree House DIPAs (again, a good thing).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Had on tap. Pours hazy, pale gold in color with one quarter inch head. Taste is must grapes and funk. Medium body, moderate carbonation, bitter. Very New Zealand...ok
