Black IPA 6.7 º

Tree House Brewing Company

This Specialty IPA, specifically a Black IPA, presents a striking contrast between its jet-black appearance and a bright, hop-forward profile. Built on a base of premium Pilsner malt and de-husked Blackprinz malt, the beer delivers a clean body with only subtle, restrained roastiness. The hop profile is assertive and multi-dimensional; Columbus and Citra hops provide sharp notes of grapefruit peel, black pepper, and earthy spice. A targeted addition of Warrior hop extract amplifies the intensity, contributing pungent pine sap and lemon zest. The result is a crisp, dangerously drinkable dark ale where the hops lead and the dark malts provide a smooth, supportive shadow.

Appearance. Jet black (35-40 SRM) and opaque. Pours with a moderate-sized, persistent light tan head that leaves fine lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High hop intensity featuring pungent pine sap, lemon, and grapefruit peel, backed by black pepper and earthy spice. Malt character is subdued, offering very low cocoa and light toasted notes without any burnt or ashy qualities. Clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with bright citrus and resinous pine. Low malt flavor provides a smooth, clean foundation of light toast and restrained chocolate from the de-husked malts. High bitterness from the Warrior and Columbus hops is firm but not harsh. The finish is dry and clean with a lingering resinous and spicy hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a smooth, clean texture. Moderate to high carbonation provides a crisp snap. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth with no malt-derived astringency.
