Super Sap

Super Sap, Tree House Brewing Company, Monson, MA
(IPA)
Hazy, yellow-orange pour with a fluffy, white head. Aroma is lemony, piney, and faint, dull grass. Flavors of grapefruit, lemon zest, and a touch of pine. Has a biscuity, cracker that lends to sweetness though it is assertively bitter toward the finish. Medium mouthfeel and dry.

Curiosity 32

Curiosity 32, Tree House Brewing Company, Monson, MA
(Imperial/Double IPA, Rated 96)
Here's another intensely kettle and dry hopped double IPA featuring Citra and Nelson. Pours a glowing, golden orange. Aromas of tropical fruits, mangos, tangerines, and grapefruit. Taste is a bit dank and dry up front followed by a wave of citrus juices. Some grapefruit rind and orange zest. Silky, smooth mouthfeel with a soft finish.

Curiosity 31

Curiosity 31, Tree House Brewing Company, Monson, MA
(Imperial/Double IPA, Rated 98)
Curiosity 31 is kettle and dry hopped with Simcoe and Nelson hops. Pours like fresh squeezed orange juice. Look at that color! Aroma of sweet, juicy, citrus pulp. Taste is an incredible blend of tangerines, clementines, grapefruit, and orange zest. The alcohol is hidden well in this double IPA. Medium mouthfeel with a dry finish. Cheers!
