BBBrighttt w/ Galaxy is a clean and elegant showcase for our favorite southern hemisphere hop - GALAXY! It builds upon the base beer resulting in an amplified flavor profile as a function of additional kettle and dry hopping from the base recipe. It tastes intense and much like fresh squeezed pineapple juice. A light body and fluffy mouthfeel make this beer such a pleasure to drink. We love the Bright series for its individualism as it allows the pure character of the hop to shine, foregoing the hop compound biotransformation that contributes depth, complexity, and originality to our core Tree House IPA's. With this beer you get perhaps the most authentic and intense Galaxy hop candy in our line-up, and what a sweet treat it is!

My second Bright variant.
Galaxy hops can often be hit or miss. This offering has both dank and citrus notes on the nose. The flavor profile starts earthy and is then followed by the taste of nectarines. The finish is plenty bitter with a distinct piney essence.
Not quite what I would call "bright" but very tasty nonetheless.

Can dated 02.28.23, drank 03.25.23 - looked and smelled like a below average Tree House IPA, but not far below. Tasted like it was skunked, just couldn’t find any good bitterness in there at all. Hopefully this was a bad can. Really affected the entire drinking experience.

Canned 21 days ago. Tried blind alongside JJJuiceee Project Galaxy+Galaxy+Galaxy
L -- The usual Tree House golden orange haze with a fluffy white head that laces and retains well
S -- The most pungent and distinctively galaxy-forward beer I've ever had from TH. Lots of pineapple, lychee, green onion, dank weedy resins, mango sorbet. Smells shockingly like Trillium's Congress Street, and I much prefer to JJJuiceee Project
T -- Pineapple, white grape, kumquat, orange pith, and just a hint of that strange peanut butter character I sometimes get with heavily hopped beers. Prefer JJJuiceee Project here, which is more tropical candy
F -- The usual softness and minimal lingering bitterness
O -- Really giving Trillium a run for their money here, who I've always considered the king of galaxy hops. Just now looking back at my review of regular Bright-Galaxy from early 2018, and shocked at how much these two reviews align.

Pours bright orange gold, very cloudy with a robust soapy biscuit 3 finger head. The aroma is dense with citrus notes. Taste is a blast up front with orange and Meyer lemon notes that don't fade away even into the finish. A touch of earthy must can be detected in the finish as well. Mouthfeel is very soft and pillowy and there is a moderate amount of effervescence, light bitterness in the finish. This is quite good, not as sweet as some of the more famous TH IPAs but so well made.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on December 24, 2019. Brewed with the Southern hemisphere hop Galaxy. Notes of fresh squeezed pineapple juice with a light body and fluffy mouthfeel.

A- Pale yellow pour from the tallboy into a snifter. The body is very hazy and basically murky and the cap rises to one finger quickly. A thick and creamy texture on the foam and good head retention. Webs of lacing paint most of the glass as you sip this one down.
S- Fruity hops drive the medium strength aroma that just isn't quite as pungent as some of the other great NEIPAs of late. Tropical and stone fruit notes like melon, mango, papaya alongside tangerine, grapefruit, floral and dank hop hints.
T- The flavor profile sees the beer balance out between the tropical, stone fruit, dank and citrus hops but it still lacks that true pungency that you find in other IPAs. Melon, mango, mint, papaya, dank weed, grapefruit, orange, tangerine and creamsicle come to mind. Moderately sweet and hints of crackers and whole grains.
MF- Medium bodied with a beautiful creamy texture that is borderline chewy. Extremely soft and smooth with a high level of carbonation. Fluffs up like a pillow on the taste buds.
Nice fruity, herbal and floral hops but in the end it lacks the pungency and signature flavor that makes a truly excellent IPA.
