Notes:
Our curiosity continues with an intensely kettle and dry hopped Double IPA primarily featuring Amarillo! The base of Twenty Seven is straightforward to allow the unique and intriguing characteristics of Amarillo to shine. We experience flavors and aromas of grapefruit flesh, tangerine, and peach. It evokes memories of 22… Our house yeast provides a familiar character and intermingles beautifully with this precious and distinctive hop. Despite its focused and intense flavors, this Curiosity drinks softly… dangerous and beautiful.

2 months old. Can to wine glass.
L: Pours a full and hazy orangeish yellow with a fluffy white head that leaves a good amount of lacing. Some very tiny floaters visible.
S: Sweet and hoppy with notes of candied citrus fruits paired with bubblegummy strawberry notes.
T: Grapefruit, orange and lime. Strawberry and peach as well. Hoppy and grassy. Less sweet than its taste with a bitter finish.
F: Full and juicy, almost creamy. Quite sharp. Medium carbonation
O: Nice balance of fruity and grassy as well as sweet and bitter notes. Classic TH with a sharp twist. Great beer.

Had on tap at Sandwich. Pours hazy, orange gold in color with one inch head. Taste is grapefruit, lychee, and orange juice. Medium body, bitter, moderate carbonation. Nice beer that is tasty but one I am content with just having on draft. No need to get a four pack but still worth a try.

poured from 16oz can into a veil willi becher pint glass. pours a hazy orange with two fingers of fluffy white foam. tons of overripe fruit on the nose with this one. taste follows with a tremendous hop punch. some alcohol to it as it warms up. medium-full mouthfeel. tree house knows how to make those NE DIPAs.

16oz can dated 3/9/23.
Pours cloudy gold with two inches of dense white head. Plenty of spongy lacing and persistent retention. Peach, orange, mango in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Orange zest with mango on the palate. Finishes fairly dry with minimal malt and a balancing bitterness.

Received a can from WunderLlama in an exchange of boxes relating to NBW BIF #16.
The pour was a dark shade of orange and translucent with a paper white head that left sheets of lacing.
Aroma is sadly still not working for me.
The taste though, very nice assortment of fruit notes; peach foremost and tangerine and a hint of grapefruit. The balance is amazing.
The feel is darn near perfect, it may be perfect but my lack of experience with the style keeps me from knowing. In any case, smooth and soft and the ABV is not at all noticeable.
Very glad to get to try this reboot of an old favorite.

Pours a viscous burnt orange color with a creamy white head that literally paints the glass. Absolutely lovely hazy. The nose is filled with dank tangerine and grapefruit rind and some peach notes. Wow.
The taste is rife with the tangerine and grapefruit rind flavors, but I really digging the pronounced peach flavor and that nice little dollop of sweet oats at the back of the palate that is delicious and so balanced that you get no sense that you’re drinking an 8% ABV NEDIPA. World class stuff, IMHO.
The mouthfeel is well carbed, juicy, and on the softer side. If you’re a hazy fan, Tree House is the standard you should seek, IMHO.

A re-release of a classic treehouse beer. A beer that I hadn’t ticked off. Didn’t need to get more beer but when the opportunity presents itself to grab a good rare brew, you go to the brewery , taking one for the team. I know , how noble of me

Can from Jeff, thanks for the hookup!
Hazy lemon yellow with a decent sized frothy white head that persists. Huge tropical and citrus with hints of earth and pine. Faint bread to back it up. Honestly one of the best hazy ipas I've had in a long time.

Canned 3/7/23. “Explore your mind” stamped on the bottom of the can
Yet another Curiosity re-brew, this one having climbed its way to #74 overall on BA. That’s pretty cool. I didn’t even know what when I decided to grab this one, I just think the re-brews of this series lately have been fun. Let’s see what it’s all about
Pours a hazy dark orange gold with 2 fingers of creamy off white head that slowly fades to a cap and leaves decent lacing
This one has a fruit candy vibe in the nose, almost like a Starburst. That may sound cloying but it works well. I’m picking up on aromas of overripe cantaloupe, orange marmalade, bready malt, banana, grassy hops, papaya, light pine, and pineapple juice
And it holds up in taste, it’s pretty similar and I’m perfectly fine with that. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting overripe cantaloupe, juicy strawberry, orange juice, banana, bready malt, earthy hops, and light papaya. The swallow brings notes of overripe cantaloupe, orange juice, grassy hops, papaya, pineapple juice, vanilla, and light banana
A medium body pairs with gentle carbonation, resulting in a juicy beer. Finishes neutral and a bit sweet but still balanced
This one is very good. Very tropical and smooth yet balanced. Glad I picked this one up
