Curiosity Eleven
Tree House Brewing Company

Brewers notes : Can something remain the same, even as it changes? If you have a ship on an endless voyage, it inevitably needs repair. Over the years, you replace the cracking mast, the planks in the hull, the sails, the rudder, and eventually, every piece besides the winds that move her. Is it the same ship? Many, material-minded, say no and overlook much more crucial questions. When the new timber is laid, did it first fit between the old and swell against their shape? Who are the people mending the vessel year after year through storms and still waters? Who is the captain? Who are the sailors? Even more important, what does the ship do? What routes does it traverse through this change? For us, this ship represents our craft. So.. we didn't stop at Ten! Curiosity Eleven continues the exploration of different hop combinations, grain blends, and process tweaks to arrive at something that is sometimes planned and sometimes completely surprising. For this blend, we added a healthy dose of Vienna to the grist to support massive additions of Amarillo (quickly becoming our favorite accent hop) and Mosaic. It drinks juicy, like biting into a clementine, and finishes dank with a proper soft balancing bitterness. Completely and utterly dangerous of a beer at 7.8% ABV... Our curiosity continues...!

Hazy mango liquid with a two finger off white foam and streaky lacings

Aroma is citrus orange , tangerine

Taste is citrus tangerine , earthiness

Smooth rich mouthfeel with a hop kiss

Good beer

Canned 1/14/2025. Pours a dense amber-orange color. Nice tropical notes as expected on the nose and palate, along with resin and pine. Fairly bitter finish and quite a dense mouthfeel. Well made, if not my favorite profile for Tree House hazies.

Poured from a 16 oz can into a New Belgium Globe Glass

Thanks to WunderLlama for this one!

The beer pours a hazy straw/blonde color with about two fingers worth of fluffy off white head that slowly recedes leaving behind a small cap that remains throughout the session, and quite a bit of lacing.

The aroma is resinous, with notes of citrus and pine. Orange, grapefruit, and a fair amount of pine.

The flavor is similar to the aroma; orange, grapefruit, tangerine, and resinous pine. A little milder than the nose. Medium bodied and moderately carbonated

Overall, this is a solid Hazy IPA that seems to lean into a West Coast IPA profile

Pours a murky/cloudy orange with abundant head. Smells of citrus fruit (oranges, grapefruit, perhaps some lemon/lime), amarillo hops, a hint of white pepper and pine. Taste is piney, juicy, and has loads of grapefruit bitterness. Mouthfeel is creamy and velvety, well-carbed and leaves a delightful bitterness that lingers for quite some time on the finish. This is like a NEIPA and a WCIPA had a love child: look (NEIPA), taste (WCIPA), mouthfeel (NEIPA), and finish (WCIPA). Call me confused in the best of ways. Thanks @wunderllama!
