Timber Wolf
Tree House Brewing Company

No lone wolves here, Tree House leads a big pack of hazy IPA makers. But what sets them apart is the extra juiciness and premiere aromatic enticement that no one else achieves.

Cloudy orange and goldenrod, Timber Wolf patiently pulls a creamy froth from its densely packed body while drawing the senses with a boldly fragrant cocktail of citrus, tropical fruit, stone fruit and herb. Creamy sweetness of cereal, shortcake and honey wrap around the tongue with the intensity of sherbet and sorbet. Fruit flavors from hops only intensify the sherbet flavors with a sense of branch-ripe tangerine, mango, apricot and peach. Red grapefruit, pineapple, passionfruit and cantaloup add a tangy juiciness before falling dry with spruce tip, tea leaf, verbena, sassafras and hemp.

Medium bodied for hazy ale but quite plump overall, the juicy dryness of this wolf finishes malty-dry and with a bitter leaning aftertaste. Crisper than usual, Tree House gets their balance right without compromising flavor, juiciness and aroma.

L- Hazy-chalky gold color with a dense head.

S- Nice combo of ripe fruit and piney hops.

F- Full, luscious mouthfeel with light carbonation.

O- A very well done and enjoyable IPA.

Look: hazy pale gold, fluffy pillowy head, sticky lacing
Smell: grapefruit, pine
Taste: grapefruit, melon, apricot, peach, pine, spicy
Feel: med body, moderate carbo, semi dry, pine bitterness
Overall: 6.8% abv on the can. Lots of grapefruit on the first sips. Tastes of melon, apricot and peach settle in as the tastebuds adjust. Piney and spicy with really good bitterness. Excellent brew that pairs well with In the Year of the Wolf by Motörhead.

Cloudy orange in color with a thick, white, foamy head. Nose is serious pine and fruits like peach and oranges. Taste is pine upfront then that slowly fades to a sweet citrus flavor. Fair amount of bitterness across entire palate.

a: super hazy burnt yellow color. a touch of bronze in there. 2 finger frothy white head

s: sweet melon, tangerines, guava. strawberry kiwi, mango sorbet, passionfruit, clementines, sweet pineapple and candied lemons

t: orange juice and bitter resin upfront. grapefruit and pineapple follow that. tangerines and guava with a touch of sweet malt. orange zest at the end

m: medium mouthfeel with strong carbonation

o: this one is interesting because the aroma is pretty different than the taste for me. smells much sweeter and more tropical than the taste. big bitter note in here with carbonation that is a tad stronger than i expected
