Moderately hazy with light head retention, smells of floral hops, pine, and citrus. The taste is crisp and bright with flavors of lightly toasted bread, orange blossom, honey, and a hint of lemon on a smooth full body. The finish is long and moderately bitter, featuring notes of lemon zest, grapefruit peel, pine, and soft herbal hops. Overall, it’s the Tree House version of a West coast IPA, and it might be one of the best I’ve had, honestly. The hops are center stage but bright and juicy, not simply a leafy bitterness barrage as the style has been known to devolve into. Definitely worth checking out if you’re not into or just tired of the super juicy NEIPAs.
