I'm Dreaming Of A Hazy Christmas is an American double IPA brewed with Citra and Amarillo hops along with a hot stand on Chrysanthemum flowers. Recalling a favorite tea of ours, we also included a solid dose of honey malt and wildflower honey to accentuate the floral and sweet notes of Chrysanthemum.
Pouring a hazy orange color in the glass, it carries notes of honeyed orange, unfiltered honey, and zesty grapefruit. It is a genuinely novel flavor profile that is sure to delight your senses!
This is a thoughtful beer that is carefully constructed to be a balanced and interesting representation of the ingredients it contains. It's also meant to be fun—enjoy it with friends and family this holiday season!

Cloudy, dirty gold to light amber color. Dense rocky head albeit a bit small. Good chunky ring lace throughout the tasting.
Citrusy, juicy -- orange rind and grapefruit. Raw hop aroma with a touch of malt sweetness. Very fresh smelling. Some underlying earthiness.
The taste starts like a fruit juice with strawberry and cherry notes. Some alcohol warmth. Richer body with an appropriate level of carbonation. The swallow brings a strong black pepper hop bitterness. This creates a longer aftertaste. A beer intended for hopheads.

Poured golden yellow/ slightly orange with a thick and cloudy appearance
Aroma is a mixture of grapefruit, honey, tea leaves and floral notes
Taste is a citrus blend of grapefruit and orange, sweet honey, malt and tea
Mouthfeel is bold, clean and crisp it’s pretty assertive as it starts out kind of astringent and hits the back of the tongue with a slight alcohol burn and bitter dryness. Medium carbonation and fairly full feeling
Overall it’s very drinkable has distinct layers, is crisp and clean feeling, the honey flavor stands out and the floral notes as well

Picked-up a single can as part of a mixed four pack at Tree House in Sandwich for about twenty dollars. My two hundred and eighty seventh brew from these guys. Very good.

16oz can dated 12/3/21.
Pours classic Treehouse turbid with plenty of tattered lacework and persistent retention. Peach puree with pineapple juice in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Tropical citrus on the palate with minimal malt or bitterness. Mango, peach, pineapple, and papaya. Finishes juicy and tropical.

Milky pale orange with some yellow tones, very hazy, pours with a small white head, fades to basically nothing but retains a small collar
Floral and juicy citrus, orange, tangerine, and grapefruit juice/zest, herbal hops, some green hops, floral notes, some tropical notes but they are buried under honey, like pineapple with a honey glaze, loads of honey (if I have not mentioned that enough), honey and malty sweetness, tastes a bit above 7.9%
Medium body, smooth but a little sticky, lower than average carbonation
I'm making an effort to clear through my holiday season beers before Valentine's Day. Like with "It's The Most Wonderful Time For This Beer," I had this fresh, and it has held up. Unfortunately, this one easily ranks as the lesser of the two for me. There's just too much honey. I have no idea what Chrysanthemum tastes like, and at this point I'm starting to think it tastes like honey.
