Tree House Brewing Bright

LOC: Charlton, Massachusetts ABV: 7.8% | IBUS: 75 | SRM: N/A

What the brewer says

“Bright was created to be a clean and elegant showcase for one of our favorite hops—mosaic! Bright’s aroma is a cornucopia of citrus dank. The taste follows suit with notes of grapefruit, sweet berries, and clementine with a gentle orange-rind finish. She is dry, soft, and adequately bittered, resulting in a very approachable yet pungent Double IPA.”

What our panel thought

Aroma: “Fruity dankness galore! The K9 unit might get called to search your house for more illicit contraband if you open this on your back patio in lessprogressive states. Orange, lemon, green onion, slight peach. Retronasal is much sweeter.” Flavor: “Strawberry shortcake and dank. A nice pine note and the dankness is more reserved and in line with more fruity strains. Malt is a nice support to the hops bitterness.” Overall: “An assertive and unapologetic aroma that turns into a nice flavor with a perfect balance. Well executed.”
