Charlton, MA. We've had too many of these. This is page 2. See pages 1 and 3. Page 1 has a description of the brewery itself.
Tree House East Hill
Pale Ale - 5.2% ABV Pete The combination of the flavor and the creamy texture make it seem like you're eating melon, not drinking a beer. Bonus: there's alcohol in it. If you don't like melon (specifically honeydew), you probably won't love this, but I do, so I could drink this all day. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Eureka w/ Mosaic
Blonde - 4.1% ABV Pete Crisp and peppery going down. Well after putting it down, it finishes with an extremely weird, almost peanut-buttery aftertaste, kind of like Rolling Rock. Not a comparison I thought I'd make, Tree House and Rolling Rock, but here we are. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Eureka w/ Nelson
Blonde - 4.1% ABV Pete A little bit of citrus, but I get a lot of pine and peppery-ness, which dominate the flavor. Way more flavorful than most blondes. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Extra Spooky
Imperial New England IPA - 8.3% ABV Pete Candied orange/clementine flavors dominate this beer, so it comes off as pretty sweet. There's a tiny hint of dank in the finish that balances it a bit. Damn good beer that I'd definitely like more if it was less sweet. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Fleeting Moment
Imperial Milk Stout - 9.6% ABV Pete Supposed to remind me of french toast drizzled in maple syrup. It definitely smells of maple. The flavor is dominated by cinnamon, with coffee and chocolate coming through, and just a hint of maple. It's ultra-rich, took quite awhile to drink. Another great beer, but I think some other complementary spices (maybe some nutmeg or even cardamom) would've made this truly special. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Force of Will
Imperial New England IPA - 8.5% ABV Pete It's fruity and sweet with maybe a little bitter grapefruit at the end. The sweetness up front is a tad too much for me, so this is definitely not my favorite. That said, it's still a Tree House beer, and they don't make bad ones. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Fruit Project Guava
Imperial New England IPA - 8.4% ABV Pete This tastes like Perfect Storm, but it's creamier, almost smoothie level thickness. Being compared to that beer is never a bad thing. This is incredible. The extreme thickness makes it a little less drinkable, but that's OK at this level of alcohol. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Fruit Project Mango + Stonefruit
Imperial New England IPA - 8.4% ABV Pete Tons of mango with a relatively dry finish. Hard to complain about that. Keeps you coming back for more quickly. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Fruit Project Passion Fruit + Peach
Imperial New England IPA - 8.4% ABV Pete Both passion fruit and peach are definitely there in the flavor of this one. A slightly dry finish with a hint of bitterness too. Really balanced IPA. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Fudge
Imperial Milk Stout - 9.2% ABV Pete Awesome. Super thick and chocolatey, and I taste maple, even though it's not in the description. Tastes more like pancakes with extra chocolate chips than it tastes like fudge, but I wouldn't complain about either of those. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Fudge w/Banana
Imperial Milk Stout - 9.2% ABV Pete Amazing. You definitely have to like banana to like this beer. It tastes like a banana covered in dark chocolate with a sprinkle of sugar. Fortunately for me, that sounds incredible, and this really hit for me. The dark one in the picture if you couldn't figure that out. Ratings: Pete - 7 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Gggreennn
New England IPA - 7.5% ABV Pete This comes off as super dry and piney, with subtle fruit flavors, just like the original. Honestly, it's not that much different, but the original is great, so this one is too. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Green
IPA - 7.5% ABV Pete Amazing beer. Subtle tropical fruit flavor underneath a somewhat dry piney beer. There's a touch of bitterness to it, but nowhere near what the 90 IBU's might suggest. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Guava Peach Hibiscus Tart
Fruit Beer - 4.8% ABV Pete I wish this was more tart, but it tastes like peach tea, so it's extremely refreshing. I wish I had had this outside when it's warm, but it was still good inside. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Haze
Imperial IPA - 8.2% ABV Pete Glorious beer. My first foray into the cult following of Tree House, and man was I not disappointed. It's described as a 'juice bomb', and it sure lives up to the hype. Definitely a ton of citrus, some tropical aromas/flavors in there too. It has a bit more carbonation than most, which leads to the flavor not lasting quite as long as your typical imperial IPA, but it's still there when you put it down. If you can get your hands on this, do it. Ratings: Pete - 7 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Haze w/Peach
Imperial New England IPA - 8.2% ABV Pete Really aggressive on the peach flavor. I love that, but it does overwhelm some of the more subtle flavors of the original. I prefer the original, but I would be happy to drink this all day also. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Hedonic Adaptation
Imperial Milk Stout - 9.1% ABV Pete Outstanding stout. Extremely dark in color but somewhat drinkable. Roasted caramel and dark chocolate flavors. I didn't get much coffee. Had to think about it, but coconut was there too. Hides the booze very well. A little expensive (was $12 for a 16.9 ounce bottle), otherwise I'd rate it higher. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Hello Cape Cod
New England IPA - 6.7% ABV Pete Not a good beer; not even just by Tree House standards: it's just not good. Too malty. If you're going to go malty in an IPA, it needs to be bitter too. At least it's not peanut buttery like Hello Western Mass. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Hello Massachusetts
New England IPA - 7% ABV Pete Citrusy, crisp, and refreshing going down with a slightly grassy finish. Damn good. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Hello Western Mass
New England IPA - 7% ABV Pete By far the worst IPA I've had from Tree House. It's actually bad. Tastes like malty peanut butter. Ratings: Pete - 2 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Hold On To Sunshine
Milk Stout - 7.6% ABV Pete Sweet chocolate with a touch of peanut butter. The sweetness lingers in the finish. You'll want to split this with someone, but it's quite delicious. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Homemade
Imperial Milk Stout - 9.6% ABV Pete Ultra chocolate-y, and definitely on the sweet side. I didn't taste any walnuts, but I'm sure I would notice the difference if they weren't there. It's on the edge of too sweet, toe-ing the line nicely in my opinion. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Hurricane
Imperial IPA - 7.7% ABV Pete As expected at this point (my 17th Tree House offering 11/29/18), incredible beer. Smells of stone fruit, with mostly orange and melon in the flavor with a hint of lemon. That combo makes it very fresh and clean tasting, leading to a quick disappearance from the glass. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House I Have Promises To Keep
Imperial IPA - 7.9% ABV Pete Another home run from TH. Medium amount of citrus with a little bit of creaminess going down. Finishes with a little piney-ness and quite dry, which makes you come back for more quite often. This one won't last long. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House I Will Not Be Afraid
Imperial Milk Stout - 9.3% ABV Pete A real celebration of super decadent chocolate that leans towards the sweet side. Probably want to split this with someone. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Impermanence
Imperial Milk Stout - 9% ABV Pete So much going on. Smell is mostly maple with a hint of chocolate. Flavor is maple and sweet up front with an obvious richness to it. As it goes down you get the coffee and some bitter chocolate also, and then the maple comes back to the party after you put it down. It's super rich, so I'd recommend splitting a bottle. Pair with prezels for a perfect balance. My only complaint, much like other TH bottles, is that this was $12 for 1. Well worth it, but this would be a 7 if price didn't factor into the ratings. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Iridescent
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV Pete This is awesome. Peach comes through, like in many of their IPA's, but the guava addition is quite nice, and the tiny hint of coconut gives this a tropical cocktail feel. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Island
New England IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete Correctly named. It's super mango-heavy, like drinking a tropical cocktail. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Island King
Imperial New England IPA - 8.4% ABV Pete Really good tropical IPA that's a little on the sweet side. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Jjjuiceee Machine
Imperial New England IPA - 8.6% ABV Pete Awesome, yet still somewhat overhyped (the expectations are ridiculous for this). Some candied mango and the most melon flavor I've ever tasted in a beer (I get papaya). Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Jjjuiceee Project Citra + Galaxy
Imperial New England IPA - 8.7% ABV Pete Peppery, light bodied, and super smooth. The peppery/zesty flavors really stick with you after putting it down. Excellent. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Jjjuliusss
New England IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete Tons of citrus flavor, as expected from an amped up version of such a great beer. That said, it's too creamy, leaving a bit of an odd aftertaste. Definitely wouldn't kick it out of bed though. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Jubilee
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV Pete Very peachy and very creamy. Maybe a tiny tiny bit sweeter than I'd want but still awesome. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Juice Machine
Imperial New England IPA - 8.2% ABV Pete This is one of TH's most popular beers, and somehow I had never managed to have it until June 2021. It's somehow simultaneously disappointing and incredible. It is just overhyped. Still, it's excellent; super juicy with a light-ish body and a dry finish that keeps you coming back. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Juice Project
Imperial New England IPA - 8.4% ABV Pete Ultra tropical and juicy. A little bit of creaminess, but not enough to take away from drinkability. Extremely dangerous. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Juice Project Citra + Barbe Rouge
Imperial New England IPA - 8.4% ABV Pete Pretty much nails the 'Tree House' style. It's creamy, no bitterness at all; fruity, but not sweet, and even a little peppery in the finish. I may need to seek out the Barbe Rouge hops. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Juice Project Citra + Chinook
Imperial New England IPA - 8.4% ABV Pete My favorite Juice Project yet (out of 4). Tropical and juicy as you might expect, but also a nice hint of earthiness from the Chinook that really amps up the beer. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Juice Project Citra + Lotus
Imperial New England IPA - 8.4% ABV Pete Light and tropical. A little limey and maybe even a little coconut, but not enough to make me unhappy about it. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Juice Project Citra + Simcoe
Imperial New England IPA - 8.4% ABV Pete Solid citrusy IPA, but the creaminess overwhelms the flavor a bit for me. Obviously a good beer, but not what I've come to expect from the brewery. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Juli-ish
Pale Ale - 5.2% ABV Pete Look, this is a good beer. It's light and and a tiny bit orangey, good for the summer. That said, I'm way more likely to pour this into a beer pong cup than I am to order it on draft at a bar (if that was possible with TH). Some of their newer, lower alcohol stuff has impressed me, but this does not. Just not worth the price. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Julius
IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete Delicious. Mild orange smell, with mango and peach mostly coming through in the flavor. Very tasty, but not an extreme flavor bomb like many of their others, making it incredibly drinkable. It also has a touch of creaminess to it. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House King Canopy
Imperial New England IPA - 8.3% ABV Pete Super creamy and super peachy. Super delicious. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House King Cobbler
Imperial New England IPA - 8.4% ABV Pete Comes off a bit too coconutty for me, but it is nice and tropical. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House King Jjjuliusss
Imperial New England IPA - 8.4% ABV Pete This is an incredible beer that still managed to disappoint. Given that it's the highest rated IPA in the world, my expectations were insanely high. Without those, I would have enjoyed this a lot more. Super citrusy and pretty creamy. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House King Julius
Imperial New England IPA - 8.2% ABV Pete A slightly amped up version of Julius. Smells of orange creamsicle. The flavor leans toward overripe mango with a good amount of creaminess. A big noticeable improvement for me was an unexpected subtle dryness in the finish, maintaining the drinkability of the original despite the added flavor. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House King Julius w/Guava
Imperial New England IPA - 8.2% ABV Pete This is unreal. This somehow tastes like candied fruit but isn't sweet. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Lights Out
Pale Ale - 5.4% ABV Pete Incredible pale ale. Smells resinous. Creamy texture with a good amount of mango flavor. Finishes with a touch of resin on top of all the citrus. I should note that I had this before noon, and it was still that good. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Little Fire
Smoked Helles Lager - 5.2% ABV Pete This is a super drinkable lager with a tiny bit of smokey flavor just to give it some character. I could drink 30 of these. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Little Nugget
Imperial Stout - 10.4% ABV Pete This is glorious. Tastes like dark chocolate covered almonds in liquid form. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Little Ripper
Pale Ale - 5.2% ABV Pete Crisp lemony beer. Definitely a summer style, and a damn good one at that. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Love
Imperial Milk Stout - 11.2% ABV Pete I'm not sure this quite nails the red velvet cake flavor they were going for, but it's damn good. It tastes like vanilla frosting with a hint of chocolate. Really sweet though so definitely don't try to drink the whole bottle alone or you might get sick of it. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Lucky
Wild Ale - 5.6% ABV Pete This is amazing. Lemon yogurt flavor with plenty of funk without rising to the level of being weird. It also has a dry finish that keeps you coming back for more. The only thing keeping this from a 7 rating is the $20 price tag for the single bottle. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Ma
Amber Ale - 6.8% ABV Pete Solid pale ale that has a malty amber finish. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Mega Treat
Imperial New England IPA - 8.7% ABV Pete I was extremely disappointed that I only managed to get one of this beer. Unreal. Somehow the flavor starts with sweet mango and converts to peppery melon by the end of each sip. Another gem from TH. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Mega Treat Guava
Imperial New England IPA - 8.7% ABV Pete Intense guava flavor with a dry, peppery finish. The mango from the original gets lost a bit, but that's OK with me - guava is awesome. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Moment of Clarity
Milk Stout - 7.7% ABV Pete Definitely sweet, but not crazy sweet. Very chocolatey with a hint of coffee. A sipper due to being super rich. I want to dunk Oreos in this. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Moment of Clarity Extra Maple
Milk Stout - 7.7% ABV Pete As expected, this is super maple-y, but somehow it's not all that sweet. I don't know how they pulled that off. Awesome. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Moment of Clarity Oreo
Milk Stout - 7.7% ABV Pete Pictured on the left (obviously). This tastes like the milk after you dunked an Oreo in it, but left it in so long that the cookie disintegrated. So yeah, pretty damn good. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Nervous Energy
Imperial Milk Stout - 8.1% ABV Pete Amazing. One of the darkest pours you'll see, just jet black. Smells of chocolate and vanilla, tastes like maple and vanilla and finishes with a hint of cinnamon/spice. Basically a bourbon barrel aged stout in flavor without the actual aging or the booziness that you typically get from those. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House New Decade
Imperial New England IPA - 8.6% ABV Pete Described as 'immensely juicy', and I can't really improve on that. Smells like OJ, and tastes like it with some ripe mango mixed in there. Excellent. I should note that I drank this as the clock struck midnight to ring in the new decade, felt pretty good about myself there. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Old Man
Extra Special Bitter - 5.4% ABV Pete Super malty and a little sweet. This isn't my favorite style, but this is a pretty good option within it. I knew I wouldn't love this when I bought it. I had to buy it knowing a friend was coming over whose nickname is "Old Man" just to present him with his own beer. Might have thought better of this had I not had a bunch of their IPA's right before. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House On The Fly
Imperial New England IPA - 8.1% ABV Pete Pretty mellow going down with a pop of dank peach in the pretty dry finish. As expected, great beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Outlier
Kölsch - 4.3% ABV Pete This is great for what it is. Light and refreshing. A little bit hoppy. Well above average for the style, and I want to play drinking games with it. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Passion Fruit Tart
Sour - 4% ABV Pete Tiny bit tart with a mellow passion fruit flavor. I enjoyed this quite a bit, and I drank it in December. In the summer, I'd probably like it even more. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Tree House Peach Tart
Sour - 5.4% ABV Pete Exactly what you'd expect. It's light, peachy, and a tiny bit tart. Wish I had it in the summer, but it was a nice change of pace from all the double IPA's. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
