With Curiosity Eighty, we utilized a relatively crystal malt heavy grist in conjunction with fresh Galaxy, Simcoe, & Citra hops to try to achieve a nectar-like amalgamation of these additions. The resulting beer pours a rich orange color in the glass, and achieves heavy fruit-centric characteristics that are as much a function of carefully coaxed yeast ester development as they are a function of the fruity hop nature of the selected hops. We taste and smell heavy notes juicy fruit gum, peach nectar, honeydew melon, and ripe guava. This is a stand out rendition, indeed, and one that has us excited to fold what we learned from brewing it into our core line-up.

A: cloudy; medium gold in color; 1+ finger ivory head that receded to a wispy cap; nice lacing;
S: the first thing that hit me was dankness; there's also pineapple, orange, and mango;
T: predominantly cantaloupe and honey dew; some dankness and orange behind that; very mild bitterness on the finish;
M: medium bodied; moderate soft carbonation; moderately dry finish;
O: not sure I've ever gotten that much melon character from hops before;
