Well Hello Western Mass
Tree House Brewing Company

This was essentially a mystery beer, it didn't occur to me to look up the UPC code on the can. Didn't help that there are multiple can designs and, apparently, ABV values (It's listed at 8.2% but mine was marked 7.8%) In any case, the beer:
Poured the color of fresh apricots and darned near as opaque. A soft, dense near white foam head crowned it in the glass.
The taste featured plenty of citrus fruit flavors, but not to the point of being "juicy". Some melon and or mango like flavors made their appearance as well. A little bite at the swallow, couldn't decide if was closer to grapefruit or piney bitterness. Either way, it was really quite good, another solid NEIPA from Tree House.

From a 16oz can dated 1-2-24. Is it me you're waiting for? I'll start off by saying that I'm not a fan of the name of the beer not being on the label. It took me quite a bit to figure out how to fine the beer's name, and my old phone couldn't scan those codes. This will have no effect upon my opinions of this beer. End rant.

This beer is a murky and hazy pouring beer. Golden in color, and has a fluffy/frothy 2 finger white head. Great head retention, and lacing on the glass.
The aroma of this beer is hops, and tropical in nature. Some mango and pineapple. Earthy undertone to the hops.
Taste - Tropical hops. Pineapple, mango, grapefruit. Nice bitterness on the back of this beer. Slight earthy flavor in this beer.
The body is juicy feeling. Pretty full bodied. Hop bitterness lingers in my throat.
Tasty beer overall and a pleasure to try these hops.

Good beer

Pours an opaque dirty golden straw color with a half finger of head. The nose is dank and also has notes of overrippened tropical fruits. The flavor has more citrus than anything else. The citrus isn't very bright, but rather muddled together with a grainy quality.

 

Packaged in a 16-oz can stamped 1.20.24 but was purchased in Charlton on 1.18.24???? Poured to Nonic at fridge temp.
Typical TH NEIPA body of super hazy orange/apricot with a full white head. Lacing is moderate.
Pretty much an orange rind smell but with some hoppy notes.
Similar taste, but with a damped middle that sweetens up the bitter rind taste. Finish is dry and hoppy, almost hop burn hoppy, but not quite.
The body is moderate for a TH NEIPA, the carbonation is just about right.
Far from the best Tree House NEIPA offering, but then again that’s a high bar. This is a pretty good beer.

Pours a very hazy mango color with a creamy white head that provides significant lacing. Very nice. Tangerine and mango aromas are most prominent on the nose, with some papayas pine as well.

The papaya and pine are more prominent on the taste, with some welcome bitterness (thank you, pine) and exotic citrus (thank you, papaya) that combine with the tangerine and mango and nice bit of oat sweetness and soft mouthfeel for a very flavorful and drinkable NEDIPA.

 

Had on tap at Charlton. Pours milky yellow in color with one quarter inch head, murky. Taste is white grape, tangerine and lemon. Medium light body, moderate carbonation, slightly bitter. Solid easy to drink dipa. It is very good but not a standout in Tree House's lineup.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours opaque gold orange color with a 1 finger thick foamy eggshell colored head that faded slowly and left nice foamy lacing coating the sides as it went down. Smells of grapefruit, toasted grains, tangerine, orange peel, malt, burnt bread crust, dried grass and peppery spices. Not the most hoppy Tree House nose, but it was nice.

Tastes of grapefruit, tangerine, toasted grains, orange peel, lemon zest, tea leaf, smoked malt, dried grass, piney hops, a dash of brown sugar or caramel, yeast and faint peppery spices. Some tropical fruit notes come out as it starts to fade with bready aspects like a biscuit, which adds balance and help hide the ABV. Mouthfeel is on the thin side with mild carbonation and a mild level of bitterness. It's a tasty DIPA, but below the standards of some of the other outstanding beers I've had from Tree House...that's part of the problem when a brewery sets the bar so high, the expectations are always for greatness.
