Luck was on my side on a recent trip to Tree House Brewing as several beers were available for growler fills that I had not been able to try before. This week I’m going to try and fill my writing quota with nothing but Tree House Beers. The first of those beers I’m writing about is Very Green. Having had Green in the past, and really enjoyed it, I was excited to try its bigger DIPA brother. While standing in line for cans and growlers this beer was the most discussed. Several times I heard people asking if they were far enough toward the front to score a growler, a few others discussed how good it was or how excited the members of their party should be who hadn’t had it before.
This juiced up version of Green aromatically exploded out of my growler with copious amounts of juicy hops. This DIPA truly embodies everything that makes Green awesome and improves upon them. It smells of juice and resin. The color is an opaque yellow, milky haze. The mouth feel is thick to the point of almost being creamy. Flavors are pungent tropical fruits with a slightly bitter/pine/resin note on the backend, especially as it warms. This refreshingly drinkable DIPA is yet another pleasing beer from Tree House. I cannot stress enough how remarkably balanced their beers are. You never get hung up on something or feel overwhelmed by another.
Very Green gets a 4.70 out of 5 from this guy.
See you tomorrow for Sap
