The brew deck boys advocated for King Sap for years, and for a little Christmas in July, we finally did it!
With mash-ups all the rage lately, how could we not combine these two icons?
King Julius and Sap cross paths, creating an intensely saturated offering. Notes of dank hops, tropical fruits, and pine sap swirl within a sweet malty base!
If you're a Sap person, do not miss this.

16 oz can dated 05.26.26
Pours cloudy opaque amber orange gold with a dense creamy white foam head. Notes of big ripe tropical stone fruits, ruby red grapefruity citrus, dark berries, a hint of toasty caramelized bready malt, and dank resinous earthy herbal floral pine sap. Feels medium full bodied, creamy with smooth moderate carbonation. Overall a real great DIPA.

Canned 9 days ago. This seems to effectively be the malt bill of King Julius with the hop schedule of Super Sap. It's orange-amber and has pronounced notes of zippy pine resin, grapefruit pith, grapefruit sherbet, and a hint of unripe mango. It's fine, but I think there are others in the Sap lineup that highlight the chinook better

Opaque orange, almost darker, with a short but puffy and lumpy white foam head.
This brings me back to when we first started getting Tree House. Their unique yeast is really on showcase here, so much so I actually kind of forgot about it until now.
Crazy fluffy, the full body brings that sort of gassy bubblegum evergreen juiciness that's just bonkers. The finish is simultaneously resinous, mango-like, and softly powder dry. Over time, it actually becomes a little maltier, grahamy and catty.
Perhaps this is all a bit more intense here than I'd personally prefer, but I can see others going wild for it.

On tap at Tree House Brewing in Saratoga, NY.
This one pours a very hazy golden orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like mango, marijuana, orange creamsicle, and grapefruit.
King Julius and Sap aren’t exactly IPAs that I would imagine cross each other well, but I guess I was wrong. This has the huge citrusy creamsicle and mango thing going from King Julius, but there’s a healthy grapefruit pith, pine resin, and dank bitterness here as well. This is most certainly an improvement on King Julius in my eyes.
This is medium bodied, very creamy, and quite drinkable.
There’s only so many ways you can remix an IPA, but Tree House keeps finding ways to keep it interesting.
