TRVE Brewing Tunnel of Trees

What the brewers say

"Hopped and dry-hopped with Chinook, Centennial, and Citra."

What our panel thought

"Ample aroma: grapefruit, lemon, pine, dank diesel. Moderate sweetness on pie-crust malt, nicely balanced by firm bitterness that lingers without harshness. Peppery onion hop flavors, but more pine and grapefruit in the drying finish. Classic character in a lighter, modern malt frame."

What our editors thought

"Classic juicy orange and light pine, feeling like a bright contemporary take on West Coast IPA. The sip is crisp, fruity, with a touch of floral hops creeping in toward the end. Bright without being brutal."

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

WeldWerks Brewing Co. Advanced Fluid Dynamics

“Hints of earthy coconut dance over tropical-fruit notes of pineapple, mango, and orange in the aroma. Complex fruit flavors vie with marshmallow malt. Lots of fresh mango, juicy pear, guava, and light lemon. Soft mouthfeel, but a light warmth.”

WeldWerks Sabro DDH Juicy Bits

Perfect haze and color combination. Fantastic aroma with notes of coconut, lime, and pineapple. Striking fla-vor profile with big notes of pineapple, grapefruit, and passion fruit (which lends a bit of tartness). Somewhat abrupt finish with light astringency.

Brew Gentlemen Tree Star

__Aroma:__ “Bright blend of lemon, grapefruit, orange, mango, lychee, and floral notes with a touch of earth, mineral, must, and pine in the hops bitterness. A slight fresh-squeezed orange juice back end with just a hint of malt sweetness. Just a touch of pepperiness emerges after the initial sip.” __Flavor:__ “Balanced like an Orange Julius—fruity and sweet throughout, with bitterness to balance, and a bit of tartness mid-palate. Resinous and spicy piney hops characters add just enough bite to help temper the light malt bread-crust sweetness but don’t linger too long. Good carbonation makes the right parts of the beer pop. Finishes slightly dry and bitter, with notes of mango and tropical fruit.” __Overall:__ “An excellent beer that was fun to parse out. More floral than fruity, with a medium bitterness that is well-balanced. The body is a bit assertive given the floral flavors, but the contrasting hops flavors work well together and only serve to heighten both the citrus and pine flavors. A very fun beer to drink!”
