Tree House Brewing Co. (February 2016)

I think they are still sorting everything out as they have not updated the on-tap page but definitely no cans. Nice avatar by the way! Wish I was in Philly this weekend.

 

Website just updated:

Julius (very little remains)
Green (very little remains)
Triple Shot - 1 750ml per person

No cans

 

I really enjoyed it for the non-juicy qualities. A lot of times the new beers taste like tweaked versions of Dr. J or Green, and if juicy is what you seek, TH has it covered. This one is totally different. TONS of bitter, citrusy flavor with a dry finish. Well done by the TH crew tonight BTW. Arrived at 3:35, line clear past the trailers, back in my truck with full cans in 35 mins. Amazing.

 

Anyone try Maillot Jaune yet? I didn't get fills because of the 2+ hour wait.

 

Loved Bright. Agree that it's not a traditional TH beer, but it's very similar to captain's or HF mosaic pale ale. At 7.8? Dangerous.

 

LOVED Curiosity Twenty from last year and wonder if Bright is a tweak to that beer? Need to line up next time if so.

 

Agreed with above statements, not the juice bomb as their others, but if you got Julius and Green yesterday, you're all set on that front.

I do like the subtle difference, more tart berry notes than juicy tropical mango/passion notes. Very well done either way!

 

That's what it tastes like to me. People are not used to Mosaic IPA's as much so they have wrong expectations when it comes to this. I thought it was delicious. Also sounds like a semi-regular can offering along the lines of Alter Ego and Haze so it should be pretty easy to get in the upcoming months.

 

Bright may be may favorite TH beer to date. I haven't had a ton of the curiosities but have had most everything else. Bright and Green, I could live on an island with those 2 beers for the rest of my life.

 

Wow, i guess i need to give it another try, and let them sit in the fridge for a few days. Mosiac is one of my favorite hops, so thats not why i don't think its great. They have done other mosiac based beers like C9 and C20 that i enjoyed much more.

 

That's surprising - lots of IPAs seem to lean heavily on mosaic these days. In any case, if this is like C23 it sounds fantastic - I loved C23.

 

Today will be very interesting. No cans and light on Julius and Green. So basically anyone trekking out there is focused on their Triple Shot fill and whatever mystery kegs are tapped today. Throw in the weather....and there will Still be 1,000 plus people anyway....

 

Triple Shot now 2 750ml per person

 

I wonder when they sell out? Not long after opening I'd bet

 

We have enough for at least 400 people buying the limit - so I think it will last for a while considering the weather.

 

Have to think they will have atleast 1 if not 2 silent releases today...

 

I say none. Could be wrong, but even when they do "silent releases" the website says more to come.

 

Yeah I asked them on Twitter and said they were all done this week

 

In and out today walked in growlers on the bar

 

Just had the Maillot Jaune.

First sip was a lot of pine, which shocked me, even after reading the reviews. The nose had a lot of sweetness, more orange than mango or passion for me, which is what I am used to with TH. But as it opens up, I am getting more tropical notes on the palate than initially in the first sip. I am really liking it.
