We've crafted a beer as a bright as the midday sun! The combination of our creamy, hazy profile with lightly kilned grains creates the golden, glowing Double IPA in your glass! For this iteration within our color series, we dialed back our darker crystal malts in pursuit of a rich, brilliant yellow appearance. Underneath its peaks of sticky, foam, we've crafted a New Zealand-heavy hop bill to accentuate its bright qualities. Notes of grapefruit peel, peach, white grape, and nectarine jump out of the glass. The beer you are holding represents our creative spirit and the craftsmanship to bring these concepts to fruition.

Can at Prudential, 8/13/26.
Big yeast and melon combos leave it very fruity, juicy and it's backed by rich, honey-like malt. Some citrus rind and maybe a hint of pine and earth help add back balance but it doesn't smell too sweet. Fresh squeezed citrus notes growing stronger as it warms/breathes.
White wine, watermelon, zesty citrus and fuzzy, juicy stone fruit all backed by rich but snappy, pale malts. Not too many TH beers have the watermelon character of old anymore, but boy when they do....
Not explosively NZ-forward but it's there, more subtly. Mineral, lime, soft funk. Polished, very flavorful, nicely bitter, attenuated. Pretty god damned nice stuff.

On tap at Tree House - Tewksbury, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma has some citrusy hop tang, melon, light-to-moderate hopburn, and stone fruit pithiness. Flavour is fairly juicy, with minimal hopburn, melony hops, citrus, and light stone fruit pith. Would’ve never guessed NZ hops. Pleasant juicy ale.

Can (11/17/25) from trade with CWL--thanks, Chris! Opaque, banana smoothie yellow, light sparkle, creamy head with excellent retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is strong white grape, grapefruit, late mild herb as it warms. Taste is strong white grape, nectarine, light peach, mellow malts. Smooth, creamy, frothy texture, soft carbonation, peachy-nectarine, dry, yeasty finish with mild bitterness.

16 oz. can. Hazy pale yellow appearance. Aroma is bold tangerine, white grape, and mild stone fruit. Flavor is fantastic. Huge peach, tangerine, and ends of juicy white grapes. Shows a mild citrus pith bitterness. Traces of herb as it warms. Soft, supple mouth feel with a soft bread like malt background. This is absolutely delicious!

Pours a hazy, gold-banana color, with mid-sized head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruits. Flavor follows, with some stone fruit accents. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness throughout the finish.
