Juice Machine

Tap to rate

Mango, creamy orange sorbet, papaya and passion fruit roll in wave after wave of juicy hop flavor, over a pillowy soft body. Magnum, Columbus, Amarillo, Citra and Galaxy build what may be Tree House's most complex beer. It began in 2014 as the beer for the brewery's very first trip to the Extreme Beer Festival; today it stands at 8.2% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Juice Machine

◎ Appearance

Juice Machine presents a hazy golden body with a pale straw hue, the cloudiness arising from yeast suspension creating a soft, inviting opacity. A dense, creamy head forms on the pour with good retention and fine lacing along the glass. Bright carbonation weaves through the beer without aggression, contributing to its pillowy mouthfeel.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with tropical stone fruits—mango, papaya, and passion fruit—layered over creamy orange sorbet notes. Noble hops (Magnum, Columbus, Amarillo, Citra, Galaxy) build a complex aromatic profile combining bright citrus zest with resinous undertones. A soft, clean malt backbone emerges beneath, allowing the hop character to command the foreground without any sharp or harsh qualities.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and juicy, with wave-like delivery of tropical fruit flavors across the palate. Mid-palate sustains the creamy orange sorbet sensation while gentle bitterness (50 IBU) provides structure and balance rather than assertiveness. The beer's 8.2% ABV sits comfortably beneath the fruit and hop character, supporting complexity without warmth or alcohol burn.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
