The 'Beyond Treeline' double IPA makes use of Mandarina Bavaria hops as well as a pair of experimental hops developed by the [Hop Breeding Company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantasm), namely HBC 686 and Talus. The end result is a brew that has a creamy mouthfeel and a fruity hop scent that is dominated by peach and stone fruit, but also welcomes island-reminiscent hints such as pineapple, coconut and guava. The beer itself has a sunset-like orange hue that is slightly hazy and hints at its fruit-forward nature. Borne as a result of a close relationship that includes sharing a distribution house, the 'Beyond Treeline' double IPA is a a fine example of breweries banding together to create memorable beverages. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 13% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Experimental Hops:** Breweries should experiment with unique hop varieties to create unique flavor profiles in their beers. - **Fruit-forward Beers:** Industry professionals should monitor the popularity of fruity beers to cater to changing consumer tastes. - **Collaborative Brewing:** Opportunities exist for breweries to work together to create unique and memorable beverages. ### Where This Applies - **Craft Beer:** Craft breweries should experiment with unique flavors and collaborate with other breweries to stay ahead in the industry. - **Hop Farming:** Hop growers could invest in experimental hop varieties to meet the increased demand from craft breweries and their unique flavor profiles. - **Distribution:** Opportunities exist for distributors to focus on promoting collaborations between breweries to offer consumers unique and memorable beverages. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hop-Heavy Double IPAs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hopheavy-double-ipa.md) - [Hop-Heavy Double IPAs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hopheavy-double-ipas.md) - [Tropical Double IPAs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tropical-double-ipa.md) - [Experimental Summer IPAs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-ipa.md) - [Aromatic Juicy IPAs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-ipa.md) - [Midwest-Celebrating Hazy IPAs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midwestcelebrating-hazy-ipa.md) - [Double Dry-Hopped IPAs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dryhopped-ipas.md) - [Tantalizingly Tropical Double IPAs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tropical-double-ipas.md) - [Delectable Double IPAs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delectable-double-ipa.md)
