Twelfth Anniversary - Double IPA
Tree House Brewing Company

Poured from a 16oz can into pint glass in May 2025. There was a canned date of 06/11/24 on the bottom of the can. I bought this at the brewery, and drank about 2 months from purchase.

Appearance: Deep gold color with 3-finger white head. It is deep with a very hazy complexion, like many New England IPAs. Head is very thick, and it lasts a few minutes, leaving a small covering. There is a medium amount of lacing on the glass.

Smell: Strong aroma of citrus and pine, as well as some hops and pineapple. The citrus and pine aromas dominates the other aromas.

Taste: Bitter taste from the hops with a moderate sweetness like citrus. The sweetness and bitter edge are well-balanced. Has a very nice after-taste that lasts a moderate amount of time. Overall a nice balance and very drinkable.

Mouthfeel: Medium body. Average alcohol, which matches the 6.8% listed on the can.

This is a good New England IPA. It has a nice mix of citrus, hops, and other flavors, which makes it enjoyable. Another nice IPA from Tree House, but I still prefer the various versions of the Julius IPAs. I do like the overall balance, and would buy this again.

Not their best.

Pours cloudy gold color with a 2 finger thick foamy head that left nice lacing. Smells of mango, papaya, grapefruit, pineapple, Fruit Stripe gum, orange juice, peach and fruit juice. It is dank and smells like wet hops. Flavor is equally fruity with some cloying sweetness like Razzles candy, Juicy Juice fruit box, orange creamsicle, peppery spices, coriander and canned oranges. As it fades there are malty notes like biscuit and hints of piney accents. It’s good but didn’t blow me away as it needs to dial down the sweetness.

Sweet malty, a hint of nuttiness, and a hoppy bitter nose on this one! Taste follows with a slightly muddled, malty-sweet, hoppy bitter swallow...a touch of orange juicy citrus peeks out, but not much. As it warms, that nutty vibe on the nose starts to become a more apparent on the palate. I mean, where is the hop expression?! This is decent, but am I alone in thinking they kind of just mailed it in on this one? It is supposed to be an anniversary beer...
