Opalescent Rose
Tree House Brewing Company

Brewers notes Opalescent Rose is a Double IPA brewed with Nelson Sauvin, Waimea, and Wakatu hops, imparting notes of white grape, citrus zest, and mixed tropical fruits.

Only in the realm of imagination, where the boundaries of reality blur, lies an Opalescent Rose, a double IPA rendition of the Sapphire Rose. Its petals, an impossible myriad of colors, symbolize the allure of the unattainable. Fashioned with the captivating allure of New Zealand in mind, Opalescent Rose is a Double IPA that captures the essence of an imaginary flora. It combines the unique characteristics of Nelson Sauvin, Waimea, and Wakatu hops, each contributing to a harmonious and novel flavor profile. Nelson Sauvin hops impart the essence of white grape, Waimea adds a hint of citrus zest and woody undertones, and Wakatu hops complete the experience, bursting with the richness of mixed tropical fruits. Opalescent Rose is a journey

Chilled pint can poured into a curvy Monhegan brewing glass

Orange juice hazy liquid one finger white foam cap

Aroma is citrus orange, white wine, green grape

Taste is green grape , slight woody earthy undertones

Good beer

Pours a hazy lighter orange, smaller white head falls fast some ok lacing.

Aroma is light citrus, white grapes, earthy notes. Light nose not as big in your face as some Tree House stuff.

Taste follows the nose, light citrus, white grape, earthy, woody, herbal hints all mingled together. Light flavors like the nose. Bitterness is also on the light side sadly.

Mouthfeel is medium lightly peppy carbonation.

Overall not one of the best, but still a pretty descent hazy.

 

From a 16oz can dated 5.19.25 into a pint shaker. Can message: Live Well.

Pours an opaque orangish yellow with about two fingers of bright white head. Ok retention, excellent lacing.

Aromas of wet earth, white grapes and citrus.

Taste follows. White grapes/wine in the front, citrus, wet earth and wood in the background. Very light bitterness.

A touch thinner than some TH DIPAs. Medium carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel.

Very nice job with this one!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a drab, matte dull yellow color. Completely opaque. Thick, frothy, velvety white head forms upon pouring, then slowly dissipates leaving a good half inch of velvety foam on top of the beer. Aroma has notes of tropical fruits, grassy, woody hops, white wine, and some grapes. Really lovely on the nose.

Taste follows the nose with notes of tropical fruits, white wine, green grapes, some light dried grassy and a bit of woodiness. Moderate bitterness balances will with the moderate sweetness from the beer. The bitterness does linger into the finish though. Feel is medium bodied and smooth. Moderate carbonation.

Overall its a delicious IPA from Tree House and a joy to drink.

12oz pour in Tewksbury.

Presents opaque gold with a persistent head and retention.
Pungent stonefruit in the nose. Unrip peach, mango, orange, papaya.
Medium bodied with soft mouthfeel.
Unripe, almost pithy citrus on the palate with minimal malt but a decent bitteress. Finishes a bit raw and green.

16oz can served in a footed pilsner glass. Can is dated 3.21.2024. @Roguer sent it to me in NBS BIF #18.

Pours a very whitish-orange with a moderately large head on the pour, which turns into a very thick, stiff cap after settling for a while. Tons of active carbonation. Smell is hop resin, first and foremost. Some orange zest character, maybe some floral stuff going on, but mostly hop resin and orange peel.

Taste doubles down on the aroma, and adds in a nice dollop of tropical juice. Bitter greens, hop resin.

Mouthfeel is big, fluffy, and (yet again) a bit chalky. Overall, I think this is my favorite Tree House so far. This is really, really good.
