Tree House Brewing Company

Had on tap at Sandwich. Pours hazy, orange gold in color with one third inch head. Taste is fruit salad, mango, tangerine, and white grape. Medium heavy body, moderate carbonation, slightly bitter. Nice a d juicy...some of the trad bubblegum. Good dipa.

 

 

 

 

Canned 7/25 cracked 8/15 pours glug glug into my vacation bar shaker: rich froth merengue head over golden yellow dense milk body. Aroma is crazy tropical pineapple mango white grape. Taste follows with sweet, bittery smacky tart, dankness. There is a balance between real bright fruit, and very bitter dankness with a cooling threat of alcohol. As the head circles the side of my glass like the rings of a mighty maple tree, I realize that
I couldn’t see what you could show me
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I couldn’t see how you could know me
But you said you knew me and I believed you did
When you whispered in my ear
And asked me if I was leavin’ with you or her
I didn’t realize just what I did hear
I didn’t realize how young you were

Fully opaque pale tan with a sparse, bubbly white head that quickly, unevenly dies to a spongy collar.

Tropical AF, dank ass overripe pineapple-mango meets sticky cannabis. It's a little resinously sharp in the finish, but there's almost some strawberry there as well.

Almost chewy, this is a bombass explosion of fruity dankness.

Canned on July 24, 2025, consumed on August 10, 2025.

A: Poured into a Tree House tulip. Body is turbid-hazy dark yellow with a small whitish head on top that settles quickly.

S: Jumps out on the pour: ripe peaches, pineapple and melon.

T: First impression: More bitter than expected, given the sweeter profile on the nose. Pineapple, underripe nectarines or even plums (some sort of stone fruit) and maybe a hint of grape skins - make that plum skins. There's a woodsy/tannic "bite" as well, and the alcohol (8% ABV) is definitely noted on the back of the sip and felt in the belly as warmth. Lingering sweetness on the palate reminds me of some sort of hard candy.

M: A little "thinner" in feel than expected; still medium in heft, and pretty milky/creamy in feel, but it doesn't have that "pillowy soft" feel that I think of when I think of the best Tree House beers.

O: This beer suffers from being a Tree House offering. In other words, there are high expectations, and this one, IMHO, doesn't live up to the best Tree House beers. If you gave me this beer and said it was brewed by "X" or "Y" brewery, I'd probably say, "Wow, this is really good!" But for a Tree House beer, it's only "pretty good."

Update, 9/3/25: Drinking one tonight and I'm modifying my score upwards: this one seems more creamy in feel and a bit sweeter (peaches, ripe oranges come to mind), and I'm really enjoying it while listening to Englishtown, 9/3/77 (48 years ago tonight).
