Hello Greater Boston
Tree House Brewing Company

Hop-saturated juice. The nose brings mango, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and grapefruit peel. The palate starts out sweet, quickly transitioning to paler notes of lime zest and pine. Hints of dried apricots accompanies lingering bitterness.

Pours a medium yellow, very hazy, perfect head. Dank hop aroma, loads of guava. Flavor is dank hops, guava, lemon pith, light tropical flavors on the finish. Thick and creamy, carbonation makes the beer feel dense and heavy. Overall a tasty dank DIPA. Super dank.

To commemorate its new location opening, @treehousebrewco unleashed this delicious offering paying homage to the Greater Boston Area. Therefore, I think it is only fitting for me to liken the various aspects of this wonderful brew to some familiar towns for our MA fans: When pouring this IPA, you’ll immediately notice its hazy golden shine, reminiscent of the rising sun on your morning commute down the Pike. The aroma then transports you to to the coastal town of Gloucester, with its notes of fresh sea air and salty ocean spray. That initial taste hits you with its bold and daring flavors, much like the historic town of Salem. That strong hop character is then balanced by a smooth and subtle sweetness reminding me of the charming town of Lexington, whose quaint and cozy atmosphere was once the stage for a historic war. As you continue to drink, the flavors deepen and evolve, much like the bustling city of Boston; the citrus notes become more prominent, evoking memories of the vibrant, diverse and lively city streets. The finish is smooth and crisp with a lingering bitterness that brings to mind the rugged and untamed nature of the MBTA trains that serve these locales. Overall, Hello Greater Boston is a delicious and well-crafted product that captures the essence of Massachusetts. Whether you’re a fan of coastal towns, historic cities, of the nature beauty that is nearby, this beer is perfect for you. Cheers!

 

 

 

 

Canned 10/7/22. “Someday, girl, we’re gonna get to that place” stamped on the bottom of the can

Alright, time to ring in the latest Tree House location in Tewksbury. I haven’t been yet, but I hope to visit soon. It seems like they’re going for a little bit more of a classic DIPA vibe for this one, let’s see how it works out for them

Pours a hazy orange gold with 3 fingers of soapy white head that slowly fades to a cap and leaves decent lacing

It’s quite standard fare in the nose, a bit of a letdown given this one was labeled as an American DIPA. I’m picking up on aromas of papaya, bready malt, orange zest, pineapple juice, peppery hops, lychee, and light cantaloupe

It’s much if the same in taste but at least the slightly bitter elements are a bit more amplified. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting orange zest, peppery hops, bready malt, grass, pineapple juice, lychee, and overripe cantaloupe. The swallow brings notes of crackery malt, orange juice, peppery hops, overripe cantaloupe, pineapple juice, and light peach

A medium body pairs with gentle carbonation, resulting in a a smooth beer. Finishes neutral with a nice balanced bitterness

It feels a bit generic but it’s still good for what it is. Oh well

 

 

This is a nice treehouse brew. Very pineapply. Very smooth. Very nice, especially if you like the style

Looks and smells a lot like the small cans of dole pineapple juice that my grandma used to have in her fridge when me and my cousins would visit her in the summer. It's not super appealing to me, but I get that it is what us desired from this style.

Taste honestly follows closely, with a little push in the direction of tangerine and white peach.

Feel is acceptable, not astonishing.
