Treehouse

Tap to rate

Pomelo and tangerine on the nose, pithy citrus and pine on the palate, then a clean, enticing bitterness: a bold, punchy West Coast pale that stays accessible at 4.5 % ABV. Amarillo, Simcoe and Cascade are woven together. Treehouse is a new special from the Brewers' Emporium range, pitched as a way to rekindle your spirit of adventure, and it is brewed with a gluten-reducing enzyme.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
