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!

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

(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!

King Jjjuliusss

(Imperial IPA, Rated 100)

Tree House continued their anniversary celebration by powering up King Julius just like they did Julius by adding an extra kettle hop and extra dry hop.  Pours a cloudy, orange-yellow with a thick, white head. Aroma exudes oranges and tropical fruits. A little bready and a faint grassiness. Taste is mostly oranges, mangos, and peaches. Starts off smooth with a juicy sweetness. The finish isn't as grapefruit bitter as Jjjuliusss. Still an exceptional beer!

(IPA, Rated 100)

Brewed specifically for Tree House's third anniversary, Jjjuliusss pushes the level of citrus to new heights through additional kettle and dry hopping of the base beer, Julius. Pours an extremely hazy orange with a nice, frothy, white head. As you would expect, the aroma is heavy on the citrus, oranges, mangos, passionfruit, grapefruit, with a subtle grassiness. Taste is an explosion of orange juice, citrus pulp, and grapefruit zest. Light sweetness up front followed by a mild bitter, tanginess - well balanced. Full body, creamy mouthfeel, and rich hop character. Amazing!

Focal Banger

Focal Banger, The Alchemist, Waterbury, VT
(IPA, Rated 100)

One of the very best IPAs out there, Heady Topper's "little brother" pours a golden-yellow with a light haziness and a nice, frothy, white head. Dank aromas of citrus, pine resin, grapefruit, and hop spiciness. Taste is chewy citrus pulp, grapefruit zest, light pine, and an intense hop flavor explosion. Medium mouthfeel makes it chewy and sticky. All that flavor and 7% abv. A big, tasty hop treat!

Echelon Six

Echelon 6, Tree House Brewing Company, Monson, MA
(American Pale Wheat Ale)

Pours a light, straw-yellow with a large, white, airy head. Aroma has citrus notes with an earthy, grainy, wheat. Taste is similar with that grassy, dry wheat character with a cracker malt followed up with a very light, subtle citrus. Light, delicate, with light body and a dry finish. The 4.3% abv makes this an easy drinker.
