Can (11/17/25) from trade with CWL--thanks, Chris! Opaque, banana smoothie yellow, light sparkle, creamy head with excellent retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is strong white grape, grapefruit, late mild herb as it warms. Taste is strong white grape, nectarine, light peach, mellow malts. Smooth, creamy, frothy texture, soft carbonation, peachy-nectarine, dry, yeasty finish with mild bitterness.

Canned 1/16/26, from Chalumeaux, drunk 2/17/26. Thanks, TJ!
Lots of lemon, papaya, lychee and melon here. Smells more tropical than what I'd expect from these hops. But the rich, honey-like malt and yeast could be to "blame" for that. Either way, it's balanced and aromatic with no resin or overt woodiness from the Amarillo. I don't think I'd pick out Mosaic in a million years here, either. No scallion whatsoever and minimal telltale blueberry.
Soft and juicy with a pinch of bready malt. Bit of pine and light grapefruit from the Amarillo with a touch of woody bitterness. Yellow fruits and a touch of floral blueberry from Mosaic with excellent bitterness without being overdone. No idea how there is Centennial in this. There's hardly any real pine/grapefruit here at all and zero resin. After having a lot of 7%, 7.9%, 10.6% and 8.5% TH IPAs recently, I can honestly say this is just about as rich and flavorful as all of them. Really nice balance.

Canned 1/8/26, from Chalumeaux, drunk 2/17/26. Thanks, TJ!
Big lychee-pear-pineapple with the fleshy melon noted in Focus on the Light. To be fair, it smells an awful lot like Focus on the Light and not much like something Juliusesque. That said, there's more of the graham cracker-like maltiness and a bit more orange and mango that I associate with Julius. Some sweet mandarin and maybe a speck of alcohol on the very end.
Whew, sharp, peppery alcohol initially before being settled by the rich malt. But it's lingering on to the finish and kind of ruining the potential brightness/interesting hop character. Almost like someone stirred a shot of vodka in to this beer...Getting some of the caramel/graham cracker of the Julius malt base, and there's some fruity mango and bitter orange, but it's all miserably pushed to the background to make way for this noxious alcohol character.
I know Tree House is relatively new at the 10%+ IPA game, so I'm giving them some grace while they work it out.

Undated can, but it's around 1/9/26, drunk 2/17/26. Thanks to Chalumeaux for the can!
Wow, that's a crazy smelling WC IPA...So much honey-like malt and ultra-soft pine. Definitely a fruitier yeast than any WC IPA I've ever had, with almost notes of bubble gum. Yellow fruits, soft citrus. Really nice lack of resin/sweat/hard grapefruit character with soft malts to support everything.
Nice and soft, malty texture is deep and comforting. Honey and white bread galore with fruity yeast and a healthy, but not-overdone bitterness. No resin or alcohol, sweaty, overboiled hop nor heavy grapefruit. It's two months old so it's super soft and round and flavorful. The only thing I could see helping is a bit more bitterness, but I'm assuming that it probably had that when it was fresh.

Winter 2025/2026 can drunk 2/16/26.
Some light floral notes, deep grassiness and soft citrus with white grape and white peach. Rich honey-like malt balancing easily. Clean and with a bit of breadiness and very slight mineral on the finish.
Big hoppiness but low bitterness. Equally big, rich, honey-like malt but drying out on the finish with proper bitterness, mineral, light breadiness. Reminds me a lot of Schilling, which is a very good thing.

Can shared by Johnny. Clear pale yellow color, small white head. Aroma and flavor are lightly malts, nicely hoppy, softly citrusy, hoppy bitters. Very pleasant.

Can (11/14/26) from Tewksbury. Opaque light brown-dark yellow, light sparkle, thick head with excellent retention and tons of soapy lacing. Aroma is strong pineapple, lighter watermelon, citrus. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, silky texture, average carbonation with dry, yeasty finish and lingering bitterness. Nice.

They dated this year's cans! Canned 12/31/25, drunk 2/16/26.
Wow, this smells a lot better than the previous year's....from what I can remember. Bright, fleshy, floral, aromatic melon with kiwi, guava and passion fruit. Rich, lush, deep, honey-like malt comforts and balances but there's no alcohol or resin noted.
Sweet and approaching syrupy for an IPA. A burst of alcohol in there, unfortunately, and lots of sweetness from the malt initially, though drying out with aid from the alcohol. The lovely melon is there, but harried a bit by the sugars and alcohol. If they could duplicate that delightful fresh melon character and the zesty kiwi/passion fruit, without so much malt intensity and alcohol, I'd be very, very interested and excited. As is, the aroma seems to be the best thing going here.

Pours a lightly hazy (kind of murky), pale peach-lemon color, with smallish head. Aroma is citrus and some tropical fruit. Flavors follow, with quite an astringent finish. Mouthfeel is kind of thin. Moderate hop bitterness in finish.

Pours a moderately hazy, apricot-orange, with mid-sized head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, with a peach note. Flavors follow, but the peach is much stronger (and lightly sweet, too). Soft mouthfeel. Mild hop bitterness in the finish. One of the best fruited beers I've ever had from TH.
