Notes:
We constructed this beer around hops we currently have plenty of access to, allowing us to re-brew it on a (relatively) consistent basis. We smell a ton of orange on the nose, with complimentary notes of peach and passionfruit. The flavor is similar with a blast of citrus fruit & orange quickly followed by spicy grapefruit, and earthy dankness. A lingering but pleasant hop oil finish awaits.

16oz can into a pint glass. Canned 4/21, so 3 weeks old
Thick pale orange juice body with a persistent white head leaving rings of lacing. Muted aroma of tropical fruit, which becomes massive in the taste. Medium hop bite for balance, thick mouthfeel, outstanding beer.

TH's are in top tier, while this one is good, I felt the 8%+ ABV, almost tasted of a DIPA which is too much for my taste us, but still good and wouldn't turn down.

Poured from a 16oz can into pint glass in November 2022. There was a canned date of 10/12/22 @ 06:55:06 on the bottom of the can. I bought this at the brewery, and drank less than 1 month from purchase.
Appearance: Deep gold color with 2-finger white head. It is deep with a very hazy complexion, like many New England IPAs. Head is very thick, and it lasts a minute, leaving a small covering. There is a medium amount of lacing on the glass.
Smell: Strong aroma of citrus and pine, as well as some hops and pineapple. The citrus and pine aromas dominates the other aromas.
Taste: Bitter taste from the hops with a moderate sweetness like citrus. The sweetness and bitter edge are well-balanced. Has a very nice after-taste that lasts a moderate amount of time. Overall a nice balance and very drinkable.
Mouthfeel: Medium body. Average alcohol, which matches the 8.2% listed on the can.
This is an excellent New England IPA. It has a nice mix of citrus, hops, and other flavors, which makes it enjoyable. One of the best IPAs. I like the overall balance, and would buy this again.

This beer gives me insight into why treehouse has the reputation they have. It is an absolute masterclass in hop presentation. Soft and fruity aromatics, juxtaposed with bright and sharp bitterness. Full bodied and eminently drinkable. Really wonderful stuff.
Bright and turbid liquid reminiscent of unpasteurized yellow grapefruir juice with a solid head of white foam
Nice bright aromatics. Very much reminds me of candied citrus peels.
Taste is a very nice balance of herbal bitterness that verges on mint along with a peachy berry note that is reminiscent of bubble gum in some way. Very nicely balanced. Bitterness hangs around in the aftertaste.
Feel is excellently full with a clean finish. Very nice.

My favorite of the core beers. Slight peach underbelly, but that oh-so-balanced TH mouthfeel. I know more and more breweries are putting out world class haze, but I can see why this was just an earth-shattering offering when initially released. An excellent imperial IPA.

Not quite on par with the other TH offerings I've been lucky to sample recently, but a very well-executed NEIPA nonetheless. Very smooth and minimal bitterness as are the hallmarks of the style. Glad to have had several of these gifted.

Pours cloudy, juicy, deep orange with a lovely white, billowing head, and smells of bright citrus fruits - mandarin, grapefruit, and I also get a tinge of melon.
The taste follows with a bright explosion of orange, papaya, and tangerine, coupled with a silky smooth mouthfeel. A great sipper.

Tree House Brewing Co. "Haze"
16 fl. oz. can coded "BEER IS GOOD 05/03/22 06:26:37". Sampled on 05/16/22
$17.20/4-pk at the brewery on 05/12/22
Notes via stream of consciousness: A two finger thick head of off-white rests atop a murky golden body with an orange sheen. The aroma isn't as strong as I expected but it delivers some orange and passionfruit over a sweetish and grainy malt base. The flavor is bright and vibrant with a clear note of tangerine backed by passionfruit, nectarine, apricot, and mango. The malt is delicately sweetish, bready, and lightly oat-like. The bitterness is moderate and yet it finishes dry due at least in part to some hop acidity. In the mouth it's medium bodied but it feels a little fuller due to all of the extra proteins giving it a fluffy feel. It's smooth but that hop burn gives it a little bit of an edge. The head has held up really well and I've still got a creamy, but more importanty complete, surface covering. The lacing covers quite a bit and looks like a drawing of trees out of a book of scary stories. The aroma is better on their "Very Hazy", and I've scored it better overall, but for my money I prefer this easier drinking version.

Lovely golden orange body; cloudy; thick head, white and sculpted and long lasting. An interesting aroma; like a sage / cucumber mix; faint bit of citrus. The taste follows along the lines of the smell; stronger sense of cucumber rind bitterness; biscuit-like malt flavor. Heavy body; moderate acidity; somewhat juicy, somewhat dry on the palate.
All I can say is the smell and taste are weird. I don't recall tasting anything like this. If there is supposed to be a stronger citrus presence, it's missing in this sample. If anything, the hop profile seems like some weird combination of Motueka and Nelson Savin hops. Motueka has never thrilled me, but Nelson Savin can be very interesting. Still, there must be a reason it (currently) has a 100 score on BA, but I certainly don't understand it.

I have been drinking IPA's for at least ten years now and a friend gave me this after helping him with repair work around his house. I don't need to rate this with regards to taste, smell, mouth feel.... As soon as I took the first pull, I can tell you it was one of (if not the best) IPA's I've ever had. The combinations of fruit notes are extraordinary and once you give yourself a chance to absorb the flavors, you'll understand what I mean. Drink this Beer!!!
