Dream House

Tap to rate

Dream House is Left Handed Giant's house IPA and its most-brewed hazy, adjusted again and again over the years and certified gluten-free below 20 ppm. Extra jumbo oats and flaked wheat give it a fuller body, and a modified dry hop draws passion fruit from Citra, Vic Secret and Galaxy, with tangerine and blueberry from Mosaic. The overall impression is smooth, citrusy and tropical, at 6.2%, and the beer is vegan.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dream House

◎ Appearance

Fine carbonation rises steadily through the cloudy body, creating a visually appealing and inviting presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical and stone fruit notes—passion fruit and tangerine leap forward from the Citra, Vic Secret, and Galaxy hops, while Mosaic adds a subtle blueberry undertone. A soft, doughy maltiness from the jumbo oats and flaked wheat provides a supportive foundation without overwhelming the hop-driven aromatics. The overall impression is bright, fruity, and welcoming, with no harsh alcohol vapors detectable at 6.2%.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with smooth, medium body—the oats and wheat adjuncts deliver a pillowy mouthfeel that sits pleasantly on the tongue. Citrus and tropical flavors unfold across the mid-palate, echoing the aroma's passion fruit and tangerine character with a touch of blueberry complexity. Bitterness is restrained and integrated at 50 IBU, offering balance rather than aggression, allowing the fruit-forward profile to remain the primary focus.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
