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.
