An homage to TV’s painting sensation Bob Ross, Happy Little Trees IPA is a 6% ale from Toronto’s Indie Alehouse Brewing Co. The beer comes in 355mL cans that feature a mischievous painter peeking out from behind some foliage. The beer is brewed with Galaxy, Idaho 7, and Topaz hops. It’s a hazy dull gold brew that pours with a frothy white head and a little bit of yeasty sediment.
Happy Little Trees has boisterous tropical aromatics—sweet and a little sticky. The flavour is sweet, juicy, and resinous, with pineapple and passion fruit notes. The back end is citrusy and faintly bitter, and the texture is extremely smooth.
Happy Little Trees is a pretty solid hazy IPA. I’d have liked a bit more booze and no sediment, but otherwise it’s a fine brew.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
