16 oz can dated 05.13.26

Pours cloudy opaque pale yellow gold with a dense creamy white foam head. Notes of extra crispy white wine grapes, vanilla cream, peaches, nectarine, ruby red grapefruit, orange citrus, kiwi, gooseberry, tropical pineapple, mango, passionfruit, slight caramelized pale bready malt, and dank floral earthy spicy pine. Feels medium full bodied, creamy with smooth moderate carbonation. Overall a really nice hazy DIPA with NZ hops.

Look....traditional tree house look light wheat color with plenty of haze with a white perfect low bubble cloud lining. Excellent
Smell.. dump of dank and pineapple ripeness. Simple dose of orange and red grapefruit with pungency
Taste...follows closely with the nose and a pineapple sweetness but balanced quickly to bitter dryness
Feel...A full and pleasant and A typical of the TH style. Medium carbonation with ample lacing
Overall...A pillow of delight with a juice measure to balance so well. A top notch beer of this style that the boys and girls of Tree House. would never turn down if offered

16oz. Can into a Finback pint.

Color is pale, hazy yellow. Frothy 1.5 finger white head. Thick lace. Nose is citrus pineapple, mango. Overripe tropical fruit. Very aromatic. Beer opens pulpy, dank. Rich flavors of pineapple, cantaloupe, mango, and citrus. Fleshy. Juicy. Sweet on the finish with a distinct, rind dryness. Body is light with moderate to ample carbonation. Soft on the palate. Dry, short finish.

Better than the original? Hard to say but this is a really good variant.

Poured from the can into an elongated tulip glass.

Pale yellow with a solid opaque body that seems nearly frozen. Bright white classic clinging three finger height, and pick marked with clingy and chunky lacing.

Deep earth tones with sweet grass and thick pungency of dank hop on the aroma dominates. Neutral malt presence strangely, and not much tropical quality. Perhaps that will come on the palate, but still a solid nose.

Palate is unique. Real soft bodied and creamy with a flavor hop presence that is a little all over. Hits with sharp grass at first and some melon sweetness at first. Dank earth comes later, with classic juicy tones but not much fruit character.

It's a solid juiced dank brew, but the earth quality really overpowers much of the hinted fruity character unfortunately. Still gets the job done but definitely I think more in the dank fan realm if that's your thing which isn't a bad place to be.

Poured from can, thick orange colored with a white fluffy head
Aromas of peach, citrus and tropical fruit
Taste is juicy and tropical has a earthy note and sweetness
Mouthfeel is soft and full slight bitter finish. Kind of chewy
Overall it’s a typical TH juice bomb, when you drink it you know where it was brewed
