This beer pours dark gold, nearly approaching copper. It is very clear with a white fluffy head with great retention, but no visible carbonation bubbles. The aroma comes through as medium citrusy grapefruit, with some floral and grassy hop... Read More

Measuring in at 9.25% abv and “100+ IBU”, this clear, golden-colored (6 SRM) hop bomb begins with an abundance of resin, pine, mango, and citrus aroma from copious amounts of Simcoe and Amarillo hops. The flavor showcases a similar hop character... Read More

For this wheat beer brewed with mangos, the aroma starts generically citrus but unfortunately turns meaty with a disagreeable butterscotch diacetyl which growing stronger as the beer warms. The flavor is much more pleasant with mango and... Read More

This beer has a rich malt aroma of toasted rye bread, light spice, and a very small amount of citrus tanginess. There's also low fruity esters of red berries, with no detectable hops.

The aroma of this beer is of bready, doughy malt and a very low fruity peach and red apple note. There's also some lager yeast dryness that is nearly prickly from the carbonation. The hops are spicy and relatively low. As this beer warms the... Read More

With a moderately high fresh floral, fruity hop aroma this beer definitely makes an entrance. But wait, there's also a slight fresh herb quality with caramel, and some fruity pear esters too. The color is yellow gold crowned with a moussy white... Read More

Citrus fruit aromas are combined with woody notes, apricots and hints of tropical fruits reminiscent of passion fruit. A pale golden beer with some dry hop haze and a creamy white foam stand. Pink grapefruit intermingled with the tropical fruits... Read More

Apricots and grapefruits are followed by a virtual fruit basket of other hop aromas. There is a trace amount of sweet malt lying underneath all the hops. A big foamy white head tops the clear golden beer. Flavors of grapes, lechies and berries... Read More

Fresh tart lemons and grapefruit are first to greet you senses. Very low levels of grainy malt follow. Clean fermentation. The beer is a very cloudy light yellow color that looks almost “milky”, like Witbier. Topped with a big frothy white head... Read More

A proper English Porter indeed! Bittersweet chocolate with a touch of coffee and roast malt in the aroma invites you to partake, and some dark fruit notes and a slight earthy hop quality round out the aroma.

Aromas of fresh grass and grapefruit jump out of the glass along with some pine, wood, oranges, and a touch of malt sweetness. A hazy light-golden color with a fine, off-white and creamy foam cap holds up until the end.

Big pine resin, wood and earthy hops are discovered in the nose. Some grapefruit and underlying dankness join the New World hop party. Barely noticeable caramel malts lay underneath the hops, which are distinctly and assertively hop-forward.

Grainy and sweet malt with notes of corn are taken over by spicy hops, which then dominate the aroma. Trace amounts of nectarine esters manage to sneak out in time.

Very subtle cucumber aroma presents itself as Honeydew Melon. Corn grist and grainy pilsner malt are joined by spicy noble hops along with very low levels of what I can only describe as "green." If chlorophyll has an aroma, this would be it.

As if you walked into a trendy coffee house, expect a big waft of fresh roasted coffee, warm espresso, light ashy char and a hint of tobacco when you open this beer. There is a light earthiness with damp leaves, forest floor notes and tea with a... Read More

Julius by Tree House Brewing was reviewed as an American IPA (BJCP style 21A). The aroma outperforms the other dimensions of the beer, whereas the flavor underperforms the promise of the aroma and the body leaves something to be desired.
