The Curiosity series has seen several iterations, with early batches helping us explore different yeast profiles, fruit additions, and hop combinations while relying heavily upon our tried and true standard process. With our process more locked in than ever, recent Curiosity batches have found us experimenting heavily with specific variables related to mash temperature, our water profile, yeast pitching rates, pH adjustment methodology, conditioning time, dry hopping rates, and dry hop timing -- and how these different variable adjustments affect the outcome of the finished beer. Curiosity Fifty Six through Curiosity Sixty have enabled us to make giant leaps in our understanding of what contributes to hop saturation, body, softness, and enjoyability - these discoveries have since been folded into our core beers, elevating our whole portfolio. Sixty focuses heavily on dry hop timing, volume, and pressure. The resulting beer is a vibrant, turbid orange color and tastes like sweet orange cream, mango, peach rings, and pomelo. The body is rich but never sweet, and the carbonation is velvety and smooth. Curiosity Sixty’s vibrant flavor profile is a function of water, malt, hops, & yeast being coaxed into a beautiful symphony of flavor and enjoyability - What better to enjoy a 60th birthday?

Thanks to rudzud
Nice creamy head that fades at a med pace, decent lacing, murky cloudy peach orange color

Nose explodes, tons of juicy orange tangerine citrus, peachy stone fruit and mango sherbet, creamy ice cream, mild pithy and little creamy malt

Taste more creamy doughy malt with tons of citrus, tangerine and orange cream, sweet Valencia orange, pithy, mango sherbet, finishing mild bitterness and plenty more citrus

Mouth is med bod creamy soft doughy, medium to lighter carb

Overall good but not incredible

Lovely can art.

Dark yellow. Perhaps the darkest yellow I've ever seen in a beer. Not amber. Not orange. Just a yellow that has had 98% of the light sapped from it. Hazy. Good head.

Smells... I wanna say old school, because at first it smells more bitter than anything, but actually the hops are pretty fruit-forward, it's just balanced. It's not really malt or yeast complexities; they've just figured out a way to utilize fruit hops so that they resemble beer more than juice. Wonderfully done.

The flavor doesn't quite live up to the aroma but it's still very good. Juicy fruit up front: mango and melon. A bit of yeast spice in the middle along with some ashen grain, finishing on nodes of peach, apples, and grain.

Wonderfully done from start to finish.

poured from a 16oz can into a stemmed bulb glass. pours a murky golden yellow with white head, which fades quickly. smells of fruit sherbet and a little bit of pine. tastes very sherbet-y. slightest hint of bitterness. feel is a little thinner than i’m used to from TH. a good experimental IPA but not my favorite TH offering by any means.

Canned 03/08/19, 11:20:40, 'CANT STOP WONT STOP'.

Pours a fairly murky orange color, possibly a small amount of oxidation but it's very mild. The head doesn't rise up too much but has a fair amount of initial lace retention that slowly falls back into the beer.

The nose is tropical candy. Overripe mango purée swirled in a fresh vanilla yogurt. Peachy ring candy sprinkled in sugar. All these components enveloped in a backbone of orange dreamsicle aromas. Bursting with sweet fruit throughout, one of the best noses I've experienced from any Tree House beer.

The flavors invoke many of the same flavors as found on the nose, but subtler. Following an initial tang, that orange dreamsicle flavor definitely makes an appearance, along with peach and sugared grapefruit. The influences play off each other nicely here, and a touch of hops on the back end really rounds it out well.

Velvety soft and smooth. Low but present carbonation and only small amounts of residual stickiness left behind.
