Curiosity Fifty Two is the latest in a longstanding line of experimental, inquisitive, and process-progressing hoppy beers by Tree house! Fifty Two draws inspiration from many areas, including an idea first utilized in Curiosity Six back in 2014 - white wheat! A hearty and complex hop bill of all northwest American hops plays well with white wheat, creating a heavily citrus forward flavor profile with notes of tangerine and lemon, balanced by a soft, doughy, and wheaty character on the back end from the white wheat. It is full of flavor, elegantly balanced, and easy drinking - in short, it is everything we enjoy about a single IPA, and, much like Curiosity Six, has served to further our understanding of how wheat can contribute to a heavy kettle and dry hopped Tree House IPA. Enjoy!

I tried this from the can, thanks to Karsten for this enjoyed in a tree house glass
the color is golden hazed with white head and lace sticks
the smell is strong fruity and aromas of hops are herbal with slight sweet juicy scent
the feel is smooth with mild bitterness and subtle sweet middle with a semi-bitter and dry finish
The taste has fruity general taste with hops that have citrus juicy qualities with a sweet yet slightly tangy flavor and wheat present in the malt with a smooth sweetness. The taste has a light herbal flavor with mild tea-like astringency and grapefruit pith of bitter yet tropical hops with lingering dry hoppy finish and mild alcohol in the taste which contributes a dry quality toward the end of the can but still retains a sweetness as it finishes
This is a great IPA in the new England style which exceeded my expectations. A superior wheat base with plenty of hop flavor but just a bit on the sweet side per the style with aromatic presence - an olfactory blessing
