AAAlterrr Ego is a rendition of Alter Ego that utilizes additional kettle and dry hops to amplify and intensify the flavor profile of Alter Ego! Further, we alter the base beer in many ways throughout the brewing process to accept the additional hop charges. The result here is one that is exceptionally fruity and delicious. Layers of tropical fruit, mango, and stone fruit are presented here with a freshness and purity that is genuinely unique and exciting to our palate! We are in love with this beer.

Pours hazy mango into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Dusty mango and pineapple aromas. Soft with papaya and guava upfront turning to mild pine in the lasting finish.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from the brewery. Appearance is opaque dark orange/light brown with decent sparkle, 2-finger width foamy off-white head with fair retention and soapy lacing. Aroma is moderately strong citrus and tropical fruit, whiff of herb and background cracker malt. Taste is equal parts tropical fruit and citrus, milder herb and late grapefruity bitterness. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, then frothy somewhat thin texture, soft carbonation, mild numbing of the lips, finish as taste with dry, lingering mild bitterness. Overall, aroma and taste not as strong as the finest Tree House offerings, palate is a bit thin, a bit more bitter than I'd prefer. Still better than most, but I wouldn't recommend it over other offerings by TH.

Can, thanks tiong. Creamy orange with some white foam on the top. Nose is fruity, somewhat tart and creamy. Tastes actually quite malty, good base where good hop bitterness is balancing the body nicely. Fruity but less than the nose hinted. Great balance, feels like a beer, not just juice.

(Can, 0.473 l, thanks VastActiv, 20190215) The beer poured pale orange and cloudy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, pine and resin. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, pine, resin, citricness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A very hoppy brew with good drinkability.
