    I had Julius for the first time in August 2016 and it was incredible. I definitely had some off batches since Charlton opened but the 3/19/19 batch tasted pretty close to me.

    It’s not overwhelming but it’s definitley there. It’s in the middle between predominant and natural, if that makes sense.

    First time I ever had Julius was October 2014, a growler fill from the old barn. It was one of the best beers I had ever had up to that point. Now when I go to Tree House I don't even get any Julius cans. Still love Tree House but Julius doesn't seem anywhere near the beer it used to be.

    I agree, and it didn’t really come out the way I intended. My second post more accurately captured what I was trying to get across:

    I was mostly pushing back on the idea that Tree House’s IPAs are somehow more pedestrian than what some newer, hipper NEIPA breweries might be doing. TH is awesome, and if you find it pedestrian and some other brewery is blowing your mind, it’s just personal preference, not reality. There are a bunch of breweries doing great NEIPAs these days, which is why none of them really blow me away anymore and I don’t find it worthwhile to try and track down the newest, most hyped examples.

    There was definintely some baby bright available last time I went in January, I dont think its ever sold out completely but they have "refreshed" the lot at least once.

    Good luck. Had a nice stout run yesterday!

    KJ at 1pp and won’t last long. It lasted into the second day last release with a MUCH longer line for 8 hours straight. I wonder why they even bothered with such a small batch?

    I bet there is plenty and they are just trying to stretch it out in hopes of clearing out inventory of other beers.

    My KJ says 3/30 on it. Looks like I was correct with it being a small batch


    QUOTE="TreeHouse_Erection, post: 6439658, member: 1244953"]Shocked it's 2pp with what's been going on there lately

    Not worth the drive even though the line isn't insane like it was the last time they released it.[/QUOTE]

    One look at the can stamp and it's obvious this was brewed in Monson

    They make 2k cases of Doppel, essentially the same beer...so this is a great question. Why even bother.

    Very Hazy I believe. Just didn't like the balance of KJ, I mean it wasn't a bad beer or anything. Forget if it was last batch or a few batches ago.
