Aroma
The aroma is strong, persistent, and quite pleasant. Its scent consists of sweet orange, tangerine, and ripe mango.
Flavor
The palate is led by a bready malt base that transitions through sweet candy-like tangerine, melon, and pineapple. The tasting then sharpens to a crisp bite of orange and white grapefruit citrus with a hint of spicy resin. Its bitterness lingers briefly.
Mouthfeel
The feel is soft and smooth with a body that’s over medium with less-than-moderate carbonation. The finish is relative dry and somewhat astringent. Its relatively high alcohol lends a light warmth but is otherwise hidden well.
Overall
The Super Treat presents exceptionally well. The aroma is superb and long-lasting. The palate delightfully balances its sweet and bitter hoppy flavors with its bready base. The feel is spot on, making this brew very drinkable. Super Treat is truly a delightful New Englander from Tree House.
