For this curious exploration into the art and science of hoppy beers, we utilized a cornucopia of our favorite hops including Amarillo, Citra, Simcoe, & Galaxy paired with our singular house yeast and a huge addition of oats in the grist. The resulting beer is delightful in its depth, character, and individuality! It pours a dense opaque yellow in the glass, presenting with notes of pineapple, red grapefruit, honeydew melon, pear, and stone fruit in this complex and fruity delight. It is the most intriguing and boldly unique of the recent oat based Curiosity offerings, and is sure to please the palate of those who enjoy a juicy IPA with character, distinction, and intense flavor.

16oz can, 5/17/2019. Tree House snifter glass.
Hazy, pulpy golden orange body, one and a half finger thick frothy white head, good retention, a bit of lacing, thin film and collar. Standard Tree House haze! Smell is big guava and grapefruit, light caramel, melon and a bit of pineapple sweetness too. Mild floral resin as well. Flavour is that estery Tree House yeast with a big dose of guava, canteloupe and grapefruit. A bit less of the melon on the palate, has a mildly bitter floral and herbal finish, even a bit leafy. Medium lighter sugar backbone, not distinctly caramel or toffee but as usual stands well in the back behind all the hoppy flavours. Medium bodied, soft and creamy, as per the hoppy offerings from Tree House, the mouthfeel is what makes this really work. I wish they didn't skip the next iteration, but this is a pretty solid DIPA that I am glad to have had the chance to pick up in my visit to the brewery.
