Nectarous - Banana
Tree House Brewing Company

Great flavor easy drink ability cold so not much in nose but nice side of tongue hops and balanced and mouth feel smooth and heavier as all treehouse beers but slightly sweet after warming but no banana on the nose but sweetness

 

16 oz can.

Pours a hazy pale gold color with a large, very effervescent white head. The head has pretty good retention. Leaves some splotchy lacing.

The aroma brings notes of tangerine, grapefruit, and orange juice. There's some very faint banana lingering in the back.

The flavor has a lot of zesty citrus, bubblegum yeast, and the absolute foggiest idea of banana. Like someone dropped a banana near the tank but not actually in it. Disappointing.

The feel is typical Tree House. Creamy and very soft. Surprisingly dry on the finish.

Overall, this is a good NEIPA, but also a disappointing one. There's, at least according to the can, banana puree in this beer? Could have fooled me. I probably wouldn't even pick up that flavor in a blind taste test. Sometimes added fruits can overpower the base beer, but in this case, it's like they forgot to actually put the fruit in that they advertised on the can.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hazy yellow brown gold, very fluffy white head, pretty good lacing on the glass. Smell is fruity, creamy, green banana. There's a dryness to the smell that I wasn't expecting. Taste is tropical fruits with a backbone of banana bread if you made the banana bread with fully green bananas, it has that dry banana almost bitter feel to it... like a plantain chip. Honestly, I wouldn't have bought this if it hadn't come in a mix pack, but I'm not disappointed. It's an interesting rif on their usual flavors to me.

Pours ultra hazy, pale gold in color with one quarter inch head. Taste is big citrus, tangerine and light banana. Medium body and carbonation, bitter. I really expected more banana in this and therefore it is disappointing. I was hoping for a more unique beer. Not bad but nowhere near the other Nectarous beers.
