BBBrighttt w/Simcoe & Amarillo is an intense yet clean and elegant showcase for two of our favorite American hops - Simcoe & Amarillo! 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 ruby red grapefruit 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 Simcoe & Amarillo character possible, in a beer that is refreshing and pleasurable to drink all the way through the pint!

Pours like you'd expect but with less head than usual with their beers. Cloudy yellow, skiff of head, some spindly lacing. Smell is big, bold lemon with some guava, grapefruit and a hint of sappiness. The flavor has citrus pith, hop oil, white bread and a suggestion of pine bitterness in the finish. It is medium bodied and carbonated without a ton of puffiness, but still pretty soft. Tight, together smell but rich and big nonetheless. It really opens up into bitter grapefruit oil/juice/pith the more it warms. An extremely tasty beer that really showcases the Amarillo. Drinks a touch more classic-IIPA-y than some of theirs and that is a very good thing.

Another hazy NEIPA beauty from Tree House. This variant blends the grapefruit flavor of Simcoe with the more piney resinous Amarillo. They play together beautifully; a little juice, a little bite--delicious!
