An elegant showcase for Australian Galaxy hops, this riff on our favorite blonde ale has just the pale malt bill in common with her sister beer, Eureka. Delicate and pleasantly hoppy, with aromatic and flavorful notes of pineapple and citrus, you'll have a hard time believing this one is so sessionable.

Can from my brother: pours pale orange haze with a white head. Aroma is citrus and pineapple. Taste is fruity at the front, hints of TH yeast, with a pretty dry finish. This is not as refreshing as a blonde ale can be though.

Tree House's interpretation of a golden ale apparently, thanks tderoeck for sharing. Moussy, thick, lightly lacing, snow white head over a cloudy, egg yolk yellow beer with vague greenish tinge. Aroma of passion fruit lemonade, unripe mango flesh, some "old hops urine", goat cheese, papaja, dough, ripe green kiwi. Fruity onset, peach, pineapple and more expressive tropical mango impressions, sweetish with a very mildly souring edge, quite fizzy carbonation, soft 'doughy' malt soil in the middle, leading to a very aromatically, tropically hoppy finish with an heavy load of grapefruit peel, dried mango, withering dill and even dried wormwood notes retronasally as well as some drying, pleasantly quenching bitterness in the back of the mouth, more so than would be custom for a more classically made golden ale; lots of agreeable malt juiciness lingers. Well, I guess this is what you get if one of the top producers of this New England IPA style interprets the old golden ale: it has the relative simplicity and highly quenching features of a golden ale, but in an amazingly efficient and elegant way, adorned with so much aromatically tropical hop fragrance that it could just as well qualify as a NEIPA as far as I'm concerned, with which it also shares 'equal' cloudiness and a soft, creamy, juicy mouthfeel. Not that I expected anything else from a Tree House can, frankly.

pint can, courtesy of and shared with Tderoeck. canned aug 9 2017. Dorée trouble/paille, col blanc crémeux épais. Arôme est dank!!! bien houblonné à souhait, fleuri et bien tropical avec presque une petite effluve poivrée. Palais reste très léger, sec, poudreux d'ail et oignon, petite note de grains, tropical ponctué par un petit côté luppulin poudre houblonné. Malt arrive juste sur la fin pour offrir une fine balance.

Very cloudy pale beige beer, big solid creamy off-white head, very stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice stuff, fruity notes, lots of citrus, tropical fruits, grapefruit, lots of pineapple. MF: soft carbon, medium to light body. Taste: pretty fruity start, hoppy, citrus, some grains. Aftertaste: very fruity, lovely stuff, bitter, more tropical fruits, slightly sweet, lovely stuff!

Canned 8/4/16, drunk 8/11 and another on 9/8/16.
Incredibly hazy, multi-layered sunset hues, predominantly rosy-peach, with a white head atop showing strong retention.
Fresh sliced pineapple rises up immediately out of the can. Light mandarin orange adds juicy sweetness as well, with a subtle Galaxy spiciness/dankness in the background. Succulent, honey drizzled peach emerges quickly, as the malt mixes with the fruitiness of the hop. Impeccably clean and with no resin or alcohol whatsoever. Not as much watermelon as I usually get from Tree House, but Eureka doesn’t give that off as much as their IPAs do. Not as intense and lush as their IPAs, of course, being all of 4.1% but the aroma is still delightfully persistent and encompassing.
Lovely pineapple-tangerine in the flavor is juicy as hell but also cut with a light graininess from the malt. Soft, but not to the point of reducing the crispness on the end. Very light bitterness, enough to balance, but the light citrus and pineapple does all the work here, with just a touch of spiciness from the hop lingering. Key lime, melon, guava, pretty much any tropical fruit you think of can be imagined in some form here. Tight carbonation, no alcohol, no flaw. Just a knockout. Some day, not particularly soon, I will be able to buy this in a store near me. That will be a good day.

Thanks Drew.
Canned 08/04/16.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Delicate speckled lacing around the glass.
The smell had sweet juicy citrus over some sweet fresh grass. Light resin. Tropical fruits enter in as it warms.
The flavor brings together all of the previously mentioned aromas sweetly with a delicate bitter to juicy underneath. Sharp bitter rind-like aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation rides nice and low. Crisp sweet to bitter dragging across my tongue.
Overall, my hidden bias might come out with this one, cause it probably leans closer to an AIPA than a blonde by appearance, aroma and flavor, but hey the feel, well, it’s definitely crushable, hot damn! Hell yeah, I’d have again.
