Lights On was originally brewed to celebrate the opening of our brewery in Monson. Over the last two years it has become a celebrated and important part of core line-up - our house Pale Ale. It offers everything we love about our beer in a concise package. It pours a gorgeous hazy orange in the glass, releasing an aroma filled with a bounty of sweet fresh citrus fruit. We taste papaya, guava, and mango - a fresh and distinctive flavor profile that’s wholly Tree House. Buoyed by a fluffy mouthfeel and a delicate finish, Lights On is a beer we find perfect for any occasion.

Can (2/5/20, Thanks Mookie, Thanks David stamped on bottom) pour from the brewery in Charlton. Appearance is opaque, yellow-orange with lively sparkle at the edges of the glass, 3-finger width foamy white head with good retention and light leggy lacing. Aroma is strong lemony citrus, grass and peach. Taste follows aroma with strong lemony citrus with a citrus bite to it and honeydew melon, mild peach, yeast and late cracker. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin, frothy texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste with dry, lingering pleasant moderate bitterness. Overall, strong citrusy aroma and flavor with a few other features as well. It's hard not to compare everything to their NEIPA's so this doesn't rival those but is quite good for a pale ale.

Got in a trade with brutalfarce. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 1/3/2019. Pours very hazy deep golden amber color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, red apple, mango, watermelon, guava, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, red apple, mango, watermelon, guava, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, red apple, mango, watermelon, guava, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Slight lingering resins/rinds. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.6%. Overall this is a fantastic NEAPA. All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Amazing soft feel. Feels like Galaxy, Citra, Simcoe, El Dorado. Very juicy, vibrant, and lightly dank/earthy hops; with a great balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Mild residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing spot on style example as expected.

Tall can (thx, Brian C.!) at Ash's. Pours a murky blonde with a white head. Aroma is lots of tropical fruits with tooth paste freshness. Taste is similar. Good one.

16 oz can poured, gifted by luttonm. Thanks! A nice, glowing hazy orange juice pour, a cream foam head. Inviting aroma full of fresh squeezed oranges. Very nice. Flavor is a grassy, citrus hop combination, juicy tropical fruit. Really smooth drinking. Not sweet or too bitter. The light bitterness lingers, and stays around with a true fruit juice palate. Really nicely done pale here.
