Canned 7/31/26, drunk 8/19/26.
Citra adds a nice update to the classic SNPA-like beer. Softer, rounder, a bit fruitier and not just pine and grapefruit-dominated. Chinook keeps the traditional element with spice and potpourri on the finish, joined by light toast, light butter (not diacetyl) and a bit of white bread character.
Nice balance and it shows a malty body/texture but yet dries out nicely on the finish. Hops show both elements of Citra and Chinook, being spicy, fruity, lightly juicy and citrusy. Minimal toast, no caramel, no overboiled hop. Excellent, modern take on the classic without going into NE territory. Still pretty dry, crisp, bitter.

Canned 7/23/26, drunk 8/18/26.
Bright mango with good acidity and very low sweetness. It is rather dominant, though, only allowing a bit of pine to sneak out from behind it. Lightly spicy, zesty citrus in there, as well. White bread and cracker malts easily balance.
Lots of bread dough up front, turning to lemon, mango rind and white grapefruit peel through the middle. Mango rind and white bread with moderate sweetness on the finish. I feel like I'm becoming a broken record lately, but I want more bitterness. There's good acidity up front but it doesn't really last through to the finish. Somewhat bland malt character, as well. The beer is fluffy and fruity but somehow a bit too burly/sweet, even for its small size.

Pours deep mahogany into a trappist glass. Tan head with little retention recedes to mottle surface. Dark pit fruit aromas. Thick with sweet dark pit fruit, chocolate covered nuts and hot caramel front to back. Medium length warm caramel finish.

Canned "Summer 2026", drunk 8/17/26.
Clean with a sweet corn edge to the malt. Not much, if any, foeder note; nothing explicit, but the cleanliness probably speaks to the extended aging. Maybe a touch of gentle fruitiness and otherwise softly herbal hops with low bitterness. Crisp and balanced.
Clean and malty, definitely above its size, with a good dose of elegant honey/white bread-like character. A bit of woody acidity/tannin/flavor in the background, probably only noticeable if you are looking for it, and gently herbal hops with low bitterness. Immaculately clean with sweet corn lingering and a hint of acidity. Tends malty but the low gravity keeps it from getting too much so. Still some wateriness in here to aid in drinkability, appropriate to the style. Regardless of oak, this is the cleanest and maltiest House Lager variant that I remember having.

Canned 7/30/26, drunk 8/16/26.
Fruity yeast, with lemony Mosaic. Touch of light, easygoing pine and no huge maple syrup, but certainly a bit of extra oomph from it. Does smell like a Wafflebanger Junior.
Love, love, love how forward the hops are here. It's like Mosaic perfection. Spicy, fruity, with their telltale blueberry skin. It's weird how much hoppier and expressive the Wafflebanger series is than their fruited IPAs. But maybe that's just the nature of maple syrup not being as distracting as fruit. Whatever the case, this juxtaposition of lightly piney, grassy, lemony, fruity hops and rich maple is wonderful. Good dryness on the finish and no syrup or sugariness from the maple. Lingering hop is wonderfully-done.

Orange, pine, grapefruit, graham cracker. All the Julius things. No sign of the DDH or the liquid hop extract from the nose, that I can tell, anyways. Some good spice and a nice interaction between piney and tropical notes. Very clean/clear and aromatic. But I don't know that I could tell it apart blind from a Julius. Which is how I feel about Jjjuliusss.
Maybe a bit more pine, spice, tropical fruit and just all-around oomph. There's a light watermelon character, as well. But it's not any more bitter or intense than Julius, that I can tell. All that said, this is a bit dull on the end with a quick finish. Certainly nothing explosive or deep here, but otherwise perfectly well-constructed like all Julius variants.

Waxed 50cl bottle pours a leggy, murky brown with some beige head. Nose has malt and booze, some cocoa, a little char. Flavor is deep roasty malt. Tree house must fucking boil these things. Deep. Dry. Long finish. Some dates.

Oh yeah...interesting, heirloom-like yeast shows a bit of musty/cellar-like funk and there's a strong, zesty, herbal character from hop. The medium malts don't impact negatively, adding only light caramel/toast accents. Airy, crisp, clean, balanced and nicely aromatic.
Cracker, toast, bread and gentle, herbal hop with lots of black pepper and a deep texture with lots of dryness. Spice, honey, herbs....everything is clean, crisp, polished/well-presented. Rich and flavorful well-beyond its modest 5% abv. Especially rich and satisfying on behalf of the caramel malts which don't over-acidify, nor are they used in place of ample base malt.

Undated can (weird), drunk 8/16/26.
Wow, weird! Somewhat yeast forward, or at least incorporating more yeast character than usual. Some dry, acidic phenol with a bit of mustiness and earthy pine. Bready, slightly darker malt bill, perhaps, has a hint of caramel. Fruity with a piney, grapefruity finish and lots of yeast intricacies. Some tropical fruit sweetness for levity.
Tropical fruit is strong with the undertone of lightly piney acidity and interesting yeast phenolics. Pepper and cellar notes with light caramel additions from the malt. Almost some melon but maybe it turns to sweeter, more playful tropical fruit. Supple base malt with quite a bit of softness/sweetness. Definitely an interesting, unique take on the style, if not wholly successful. Could use a bit more bitterness/acidity, less earthiness and pepper and I'm not sure that the caramel malt adds anything necessary here. No alcohol noted.
