Bright was created to be a clean and elegant showcase for one of our favorite hops - Mosaic! It is crafted with a simple malt bill and fermented with clean American Ale yeast to create a flavor profile that is more a function of its vibrant fresh ingredients than an expression of yeast character. 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.

750 mL growler from Blisscent filled 2/19/16 and drunk 2/20/16.
Solidly hazy, though not soupy pour is a soft apricot-golden and shows a moderately well-retained white head atop.
Fruity and juicy, of course, with lychee, pineapple, kiwi and starfruit. That’s all quite nice, but true to mosaic, there’s a strong apricot character that, in concert with the sweetness from the malts, significantly lessens the brightness. It just comes off rather "mushy-sweet". Light earthiness, bits of herbs and some light to moderate pine.
In the flavor, again, it’s got some doughy malt character with sweetness combining with the strong apricot-nectarine notes to create not nearly as bright a flavor as this could be. Needs to be a touch more dry with a little less pine and earth. Of course, this is holding the beer to the very highest standards, being from TreeHouse, and in an overall sense, it’s still fantastic.

750 ml growler thanks to Blisscent, thanks man!! Hazy gold with a great aroma. The Mosaic is alive and well. Green onion with pine.
Flavor shows a big grapefruit right up front with the Mosaic coming in at the finish. The bitterness is mild with a juicy texture. Big citrus, tangerine, oranges. Wow, nice.

Growler from Nelson, it’s a pretty orange color with a very light head. Aroma is very juicy, has a very standard Tree House aroma with pineapple, citrus, kiwi, peach, nectarine. Taste is similar to the aroma. lots of juice. Pretty darn good. it still has that sweetness at the end.
