King Julius
Tree House Brewing Company

IMHO its fantastic. A juice bottom but it still seems like very high IBUs.

As a native of the Lakes Region in New Hampshire, my living in Massachusetts is often accompanied by a longing for the familiar comforts of home. Fortunately for me, King Julius found its way into my life, offering a delicious taste of nostalgia that perfectly bridges the gap between my two worlds. King Julius embodies everything I love about New England IPAs: From the moment the can is cracked open, a burst of enticing citrus and tropical aromas wafts through the air, conjuring images of sunny days spent by the serene lakeshores. The vibrant golden hue, reminiscent of a breathtaking sunset, beckons you to dive right in and savor its offerings.
With the first sip, I am transported to my beloved lakeside retreats, where the cares of the world seem to fade away. The velvety-smooth mouthfeel caresses the palate, ensuring each flavor is embraced and cherished. King Julius boasts a harmonious blend of juicy orange, luscious mango, and succulent pineapple that dances across the taste buds, leaving behind a pleasantly lingering sweetness.
One sip evokes a sense of community, as if the spirit of The Lake is somehow infused within its effervescent bubbles. It carries the essence of lazy summer afternoons, lively conversations by the bonfire, and the laughter shared amongst friends and family. The beer not only quenches the thirst but nourishes the soul.”

 

I'm not specifically an IPA guy. I enjoy almost all types of beer, but from pour to finish this masterpiece from Treehouse is unimaginably delicious. There are rushes of juicy flavors from every angle and zero bitterness. This is the best beer I have ever had. If you can find these cans somewhere just get as many as you can at any cost. You won't regret it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

L: Super hazy, dark gold orange, medium white head
S: tons of mango, melon, pineapple, sweet tropical fruit
T: sweet creamy body, lots of mango, pineapple, melon, super super juicy, almost no bitterness
O: probably the juiciest neipa i have tried. the flavors are honestly similar to most neipas but its the texture, juiciness that sets it apart

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#140, yum!

 

 

Aroma is muted, flavor strikes me as blandly fruity with a decent balance of bitter and sweet. I dunno, I'm not a big fan of the neipa/hazy ipa thing generally, but this is just not an especially stand out example in any way.

Julius was better. And the celebration I had today was even better to me

 

Poured from a 16 oz can into a Treehouse tulip

L: Hazy golden orange pour. Thick and juicy with massive foamy white head. Great lacing.

S: Rich and juicy. Big orange/citrus... lighter tropicals and mango.

T.F: Just like it smells. A big time juice bomb. Loads and loads of fruit/citrus. Orange desserts, mango, and papaya. Super smooth mouthfeel. Medium bodied... a little sticky. Lingering citrus finish.

O: An elite hazy DIPA, and one of the few beers that lives up to its hype. Entirely worth seeking out.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy peach nectar color with a three finger head; excellent retention and nice smattering of lace

Smell: Bright aromatic tones of tangerine as well as some grapefruit, lemon/lime and pineapple

Taste: Citrus punch with tangerine dominant and the grapefruit and lemon/lime elements supporting; along the way, the pineapple adds a tropical dimension; moderate bitterness builds, through the finish, where a dry, pithy element emerges

Mouthfeel: Medium to full body and creamy; moderate carbonation

Overall: Here is an NE IPA that lives up to the Tree House hype

Thanks, devoured_by_vermin, for the opportunity

Pours kind of a murky orangish golden, maybe dirty blonde. It's not an attractive NEIPA. The nose is quite nice - mango and papaya permeate. It is definitely citra (mango and papaya) forward with the Tree House yeast also playing a co-starring role providing some bubblegum-like chewiness. It's got some balance too with some pepper on the finish. While containing enough residual sugar to bring out that fruit character, this is still lean to the point that it's not heavy for a DIPA. The accolades thrown at this are impossibly high, but this, to me, meets its reception.

 

Canned 9/30, super fresh!

Not favorite from Tree House, this comes across as kinda thin. The body is actually a bit watery. I get lots of nice, pithy citrus though, mostly orange. Not much else, but I like it anyway.

16 oz can, dated 9/30/22 so only about a week old, picked up a the brewery

opaque dark yellow orange color, thick white head. big orange sherbet like citrus aroma, a touch of dankness underneath. similar flavor in the taste, a bit sweet, finishes with enough bitterness to balance the sweetness, but just a touch chalky in the finish that detracts. softer fuller feel.

Pours a murky orange juice color smaller off white head even from aggressive pour only a pinky high falls fast to a ring of bubbles.

Aroma is big fruit smoothie goodness, its soft tangerine, mango, sweet nectars, honey dew, malts may be showing honey sweetness too. Just a tingle of hoppy bitterness under all the fruity notes.

Taste on this defiantly follows the nose unlike its small brother Julius big fruity notes on a chewy smoothie base. loads of fruity goodness that was in the nose tangerine, nectars, pineapple, mango all mingled in honey dew sweet malts. finish is light lingering bitterness a orange peel rind with touches of herbal notes to finish it out. Very enjoyable IPA good and fruity along with a decent amount of bitterness to keep me happy.

Mouthfeel is a big medium with smooth mellow carbonation that makes it seem even more like a smoothie.

Overall very well done I2PA.

 

Not every beer is deserving of the hype it receives. This is not one of those beers. It's wow-factor off the charts in every aspect - no need for me to list my amazement in every category. If you can obtain this beer, and you generally enjoy NEIPA style, this one's a must. Near-flawless brew.
