High Res if you want approachable haze with restraint,
King Julius if you want maximum juice and punch.
Both nail the New England IPA texture—that pillowy mouthfeel—but they're operating at different intensities. High Res leans clean despite its 8.3% ABV; King Julius flexes harder at 8.2% with 10 more IBUs that actually register. Pick based on mood: High Res for a session that doesn't demand attention, King Julius for when you want the beer to announce itself.

High Res
High Res tastes like someone dialed in a Citra/Mosaic blend and stopped before it got loud. The haze is thick but the flavor reads almost restrained—creamy citrus, white grapefruit, a whisper of stone fruit. There's zero sharp bitterness despite the 50 IBUs; it sits soft on your tongue. This is the beer that lets you have three without losing the thread of conversation.
King Julius
King Julius hits different. It's denser, rounder, with that classic Tree House signature—tropicality that actually tastes like mango and passionfruit instead of the idea of them. The 60 IBUs show up as bitter backbone, not harshness, which keeps it structured. Finishing it leaves a slight sticky-sweet residue on your palate that makes you immediately want another sip.
