Tree House (2021)

Agree with this. One of the best sessions I've had. Exhibit A also made one that was better than any session I've had from Tree House but I think it was a one off.

 

Anyone else get a big maraschino cherry flavor from Jjjuiceee Project? Can’t think of another beer I’ve had where that note stands out so much. Overall I like it a lot - aroma is amazing, the lacing is impeccable

Also, really enjoyed One - very impressive orange/peach/mango nose, swallow delivers with some piney/earthy character adding depth

 

Thinking about going for the first time on Friday and want to get there for open. How long of a wait do you think I will encounter? I just want to get cans and get back on the road. Was thinking of getting there around 10:45

 

East Hill is a good one also

 

There will be a wait at open, doubt you will be able to just get cans and get back on the road. How patient are you? 10 minutes wait? 20 minutes wait? 30 minutes wait?

 

If I had to guess, many people will probably head to the bar first giving this fella a chance to sneak over and get cans fairly quickly in this new system.

 

You mean Citra + Barbe Rouge? Yes, I can see that…and taste that.

 

…haha

 

Juli-ish rules

TH is a pretty killer (albeit chill) concert venue as well

 

Low ABV boyz can rejoice. Little Ripper today, a 5.2% pale ale. This has me much more intrigued than their usual hazy pale ales, which, to me taste like nothing.

This looks more like a classic style that will have some bitterness and old school hop profile flavors

 

This is not a new beer and its ok.

 

I just want some freakin cold brew!

 

Have you considered investing in a Toddy cold brew system? Super easy setup and you save a shit ton of money

 

I do my own cold brew most of the time, was actually just looking to give Tree House’s a try. It always seems to go to quick around my chances to make the trip over.

 

I got someone picking up a few 4-packs for me tomorrow that unfortunately won’t be in my hands until mid-August. I’m intrigued by Big Blue. I see it has good reviews but I was wondering what some of you think about it…

 

About to have one now, will report back.

I har a Little Ripper yesterday and was reminded of why I do not buy their Pale Ales. I was expecting an old school West Coast style IPA based on its look, but there was almost no flavor to be had. Expected big bitterness, piney, grapefruit flavors but got nothing. Almost tasted like a seltzer beer. My hopes aren’t high for ‘2’ either but we’ll see. Everything else is amazing so far

Update: Big Blue is very good. Doesn’t stand out like the Juice Project line, but a very very good NEIPA

 

Someone call Trillium and show them this is how it’s done

 

The paper towel?

 

That's for my clean up later.

 

I ended up making a Google sheet to compare 15 different beers I got from Deerfield last week. Didn't try them all yet, but Little Ripper and 2 scored relatively high, although 2 was higher. What surprised me is that both oak-conditioned German lagers (Trailbreaker and Free to Roam) were the least interesting, while all other non-IPA were great.
