Distant Lands is a Double IPA that charts a new trail through our own backyard. We utilized a brand new thiolized yeast strain and mash hopped with high-oil Cascade to give it plenty of fuel for transformation. Citra, Amarillo, and Alora combine, creating notes of clementine, mango gummies, and sweet vanilla.

16oz can.

Pours cloudy gold with an inch of white fluff. Persistent retention with plenty of spongy lacing. A bit pithy in the nose with orange zest, unripe mango, guava. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Orange, peach, mango on the palate with minimal malt or bitterness.

This one pours a fairly hazy golden orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing

This smells quite orangey, with clementine and tangerine and other similar citrusy vibes, candied pineapple, and just a hint of pine.

This is a very prototypical, but still delicious, Tree House IPA, with candied but not too sweet citrusy orangey goodness, and just the lightest little bit of piney bitterness on the finish. There’s a creamy flavor to this, and a lot of TH IPAs, that is just so wonderful.

This is light bodied, but creamy and still full feeling, with a great drinkability.

This is somewhere near the middle for Tree House, but their middle is still higher than most breweries’ high points.

Canned 4/29/2025. Wow! This one is tough to describe. Amber-orange in color and densely hazed. The nose is lush tropical aromas, but the palate is somehow dank but with resinous, oily notes. The label notes use of a new "thiolized yeast strain" as well as high-oil Cascade hops, plus Citra, Amarillo and Alora. Unusual and delicious.

Notes via stream of consciousness: Wow, this beer is mash hopped! That's got to be expensive, and I'd imagine that a lot of the hop oils get left behind. Whatever. The label says it's Cascade in the mash followed by Citra, Amarillo, and Alora. It's poured a cloudy golden-orange body beneath a thumb's width of rocky white foam. There's a whole lot of candied grapefruit in the aroma along with some lemon-lime, tangerine, mango, and melon. It's pretty bold, bright, and welcoming. On to the taste... I think everything in the aroma remains but let me check... yes, along with some mild peach, apricot, and pineapple. There's regular apple too but that's in almost every beer. It's interesting, clear, and compelling - I just want to keep tasting it looking for something new. It's not that bitter at all but there is a hint of alcohol to it. It's not very resinous which is interesting, and that adds to its refreshing quality. In the mouth it's medium bodied but it feels fuller due to all of the extra proteins in it, which reminds me that I didn't go over the malt. It's sweetish with some oat character and wheaty breadiness. As I'm sniffing at it now, and it's warmed a bit, I'm getting a more resinous character. I certainly won't call it "dank" but there is something there. All in all I think this one's a real winner. The head retention and lacing were both better than very good, the aroma is bright, the flavor is fruit juicy and refreshing, and it's complex but not overly so and superbly rounded and balanced. As far as juicy NEIPAs go this is top tier, at least for now. It's so juicy!!!
