Alter Ego - Tree House Brewing Company

Beer Review

Alter Ego is a 6.8% American IPA brewed by the Tree House Brewing Company in Monson, Massachusetts. I have tried many different beers from Tree House and they are always top notch. Tree House is a small batch craft brewer specializing in fine New England style IPAs. They do produce stouts, porters and a variety of other styles of beers, but the juice bombs like their Julius, Green, and Haze are what made Tree House become the legend that it is today. Unfortunately you can't find Tree House beers at your local liquor store, you need to travel to the brewery itself and wait in a long line in order to score any of this liquid gold. But it sure is worth it! Alter Ego is the alter ego of Tree House's Julius. A load of Mosaic and Amarillo were added to the Julius base during the dry hop making a deceivingly devilish version of the beer.

The Can

The Alter Ego is served in a full pint can. It features the typical Tree House Brewing Company logo on a blue label. When you see a can with a Tree House on it, you know there's going to be good beer inside. Alter Ego was originally brewed in the spirit of experimentation and to celebrate Tree House Brewing Company's 3rd anniversary.

The Beer

The Alter Ego pours a glowing. bright and hazy orange when poured into a glass. It formed a perfect, puffy head of foam, as you can see in the photo below. The aroma reeked of juicy citrus and tropical fruit. The taste is incredibly complex. It has the same base beer as the Julius but the added Mosaic and Amarillo to the dry hop creates a powerful citrus bite. I can see why they decided to name this beer 'Alter Ego'. It was absolutely delicious. I look forward to trying more beers from Tree House Brewing Company in the future.

cool can. this brewery has some interesting label art. So this beer first, then the AAAALtered version! pretty cool idea.

Hello friend, just to see the house on the tree and the name of alter ego, we realize that they produce a quality beer, the presentation of the packaging is very refreshing because of that intense blue that gives the sensation of peace and of disconnecting from the reality, to enjoy a magical moment, then when we open we take a pleasant surprise of that intense yellow and I imagine the explosive flavor so you detail the citrus, excellent publication and I would like to give me pleasure to drink a great Alter Ego beer. greetings @jeffagoe

It has a beautiful presentation and the beer looks very good.
