Leach's House

Nose is beautiful blend of apricot, geuzey funk/wood, wet wool, red wine(?) grape, feet/stink. Man, TH house character is so reminiscent of proper lambic. Palate leads with the fruit, gets a touch sweet, transitions to wood and a slight hop greenness.

Passionfruit, mango, bitter lime zest, some coconut and stinky onion on the nose. Palate is not as simple juice as the nose would imply. Dry and bitter pineapple, some resin.

Last night. Vegetal Southern Hemisphere hops throwing green pepper and light scallion/weed on top of a crackery malt base. Dry finish with mild bitterness. Just what a hoppy session should be.

Floral accented nose with a good amount of biscuit and caramel malt behind it. A little sulfur/lager yeast. Also a touch prickly as it goes down. Flavors are solid and it’s not too sweet.

Cotton candy and bubblegum with mango accents. Super fragrant and pungent even at 2 months old. One of the better rotationals.

Purchased at Tree House Brewing Co.

Heavy on the blueberry and lemon initially along with a wheaty/grainy and moderately tangy base. Kind of like a blueberry/lemon tangy dessert. Coconut is lost on the palate.

Vegetal SH hop goodness.

Cotton candy and melon juice. This is honestly more enjoyable than this recent batch of Juice Machine. Super tropical and not too sweet either though you get a light caramel touch. Satisfying bitterness.

This is really good. Pineapple, coconut, mango, plus some green pepper and Nelson vegetal qualities. Good amount of weed in the mix too. Dry kind of dankness as it closes.

Big stinky and vegetal Nelson. Perfumey front, lime zest, green pepper, grape must. Good sweetness behind but never dominant

Mango, papaya, guava, bubblegum esters, sweet malt backbone. Decent amount of bitterness. Juicy fruit gum.

Perfumey SH hops. Lime zest, green pepper, some grainy notes. Very tasty showcase for Motueka

Orange comes through on the nose along with a big dose of woody coconut. Moderate acidity. The fruit flavors are well balanced and never come off too sweet or dominant. Tangy tropical mimosa.

Phenomenal beer. Higher on the acid for a SFB but never crosses the line of too much. Cedar/tobacco wood, lemon balm, subtle vanilla. One of the best bottles I’ve had in recent memory.

Purchased at Suarez Family Brewery

Cinnamon Toast Crunch with a cup of coffee. Cinnamon and vanilla dominate along with lactose. Rich body. Pretty sweet and good to split.

This is just passionfruit juice in a can. Unbelievably tasty. Beer cocktail but I’m not mad at it

Not as jammy as expected but very delicious. Berries and lightly acidic base.

God damn this is a great beer. Dry weed and mango without the sugar. DIPA flavors at 5.4%

Caramel, vanilla, figs, toffee initially before it leaves you with this faint chili burn in the throat. Really digging it. Savory touches

Lovely dry oak, herbaceous notes, lemon balm. Distinct Brett undercurrent that pokes out but never overwhelms the other flavors. Bomb.
