In Perpetuity

In Perpetuity, Tree House Brewing Company, Monson, MA
(American IPA, Rated 100)
Brewed with Citra and Nelson, this IPA pours a hazy, bright orange topped with a nice white head. The aroma is a bouquet of subtle, yet impeccable tropical and citrus notes.  Oranges, mango, pineapple, and ripe peaches. Bit of a bready character. Taste is a juicy blend of sweet pulp and tangy bitter orange and lemon zest. Soft, creamy mouthfeel with a long, bittersweet finish. Checks in at 6.7% abv and standing tall with the upper, echelon of Tree House beers. Absolutely delicious!

Double Dry Hopped Sleeper Street

Double Dry Hopped Sleeper Street, Trillium Brewing Company, Boston, MA
(IPA, Rated 99)
Dry hopped with a double dose of El Dorado hops, this tasty specimen pours a hazy orange with a thick, fluffy white head. Aroma is oranges, mango, guava, passionfruit. It's dank and herbal. The tropical fruits come through in the taste led by orange juice and citrus rind. Medium mouthfeel with a mildly tangy-bitter finish. Clocks in at 7.2% abv.  Delicious!

Stillings Street IPA

Stillings Street, Trillium Brewing Company, Boston, MA
(IPA, Rated 99)
First review of another New England brewing company that is capturing the beer world by storm with their juice bomb IPAs. This IPA pours an extreme hazy orange-yellow. The aroma is heavy tropical fruits and pungent citrus. Has a light biscuity/cracker character and a dank, earthiness. The taste is of passion fruit, cantaloupe, apricots, orange zest, and grapefruit pulp. Mildly soft, chewy mouthfeel. Crisp hop bitterness. Checks in at 7.2% abv. This is a fantastic beer!
