(Sweet Stout, Rated 96)

Chocolaty-brown pour with a mocha head. Aromas of roasted coffee beans, cocoa, vanilla, and chocolate. Tastes of milk chocolate sweetness, smooth black coffee, rich vanilla, and a touch of lactose.

Echelon Five

Echelon Five, Tree House Brewing Company, Monson, MA
(Belgian Golden Ale/Blonde Ale)

Every now and then Tree House will throw out something other than the juicy IPAs they are well known for. This Belgian blonde pours a straw-yellow color. Aroma is typical Belgian, grassy, earthy, with faint spice. Taste is crisp, earthy wheat malt, and faint hop bitterness. Light mouthfeel with a dry finish.

Bright w/Nelson Sauvin

Bright w/Nelson Sauvin, Tree House Brewing Company, Monson, MA
(Imperial IPA)

This Bright variant is brewed with Nelson Sauvin hops from New Zealand. Pours a hazy, yellow with a nice, white head. Aroma is that typical juicy aroma with oranges, grapefruit zest, pineapple, and definite herbal, earthy, floral notes. Flavor is huge tropical fruit and citrus sweetness with mild grapefruit bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel, a lingering dankness, and a clean, dry, earthy finish. A deliciously light imperial IPA at 7.8% abv.

Curiosity Twenty-six

(American Pale Ale, Rated 98)

Curiosity Twenty-six is another juice bomb brewed primarily with El Dorado with a little Citra hops. Pours the typical cloudy orange with good amounts of head. Amazing aromas of orange zest and citrus pulp. Taste is all citrus, all the time, with orange the prominent flavor. Nice sweet malt backbone and a grassy, herbal bitterness. Finish is crisp, a bit dry, with mild hop bitterness.
