Tree House Brewing Company Emperor Julius | Hazy Imperial IPA

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

4.6Untappd

Emperor Julius from Tree House Brewing Company in Charlton, Massachusetts, pours a deep, opaque orange into the glass — the kind of saturated, juice-like haze that has become synonymous with the Tree House house style. The head is dense and creamy white, showing excellent retention and leaving soft rings of lace with each sip. On the nose, the aromatics are immediate and generous: orange juice, orange Starburst candy, overripe mango, and a whisper of honeydew melon combine to create an intensely tropical bouquet that is both vivid and inviting. On the palate, the mouthfeel is luxuriously full-bodied and creamy, with a smooth, pillowy texture that belies the 8.8% ABV.

Flavours of fresh orange, bright grapefruit zest, ripe cantaloupe, and juicy tropical fruit roll across the tongue in waves, balanced by a mild, integrated bitterness that never overwhelms. The finish is soft and lingering, with just enough hop structure to keep each sip refreshing and to invite the next. Emperor Julius represents the culmination of nearly 15 years of hoppy beer refinement at Tree House — a benchmark Double NEIPA that earns its near-perfect scores on both Untappd (4.6/5) and BeerAdvocate (100/100). Drink fresh for maximum hop expression. Explore the full profile on Untappd: https://untappd.com/b/tree-house-brewing-company-emperor-julius/4376950

Food Pairing

Tree House Emperor Julius pairs beautifully with spicy Thai green curry, where the beer’s lush tropical fruit notes temper the heat while amplifying the dish’s lemongrass and coconut aromatics. It is equally at home alongside a creamy burrata topped with grilled peaches and fresh basil — a pairing that echoes the beer’s ripe citrus and melon character. Both combinations highlight why Tree House Emperor Julius has become a benchmark Hazy Imperial IPA for discerning palates.
