Curiosity Eighty One is a fresh exploration of our house yeast, aiming to mix exotic hops with our familiar yeast profile in a way that integrates seamlessly with the beer. With our house yeast character controlled through careful fermentation management, a proprietary hop blend featuring varieties from three continents are able to shine. The result is a distinctly juicy rendition, with notes of fruit loops, tropical fruit leather, orange gummies, and tropicana all presently clearly and brightly in this gorgeous interpretation of double IPA - Enjoy!

Thanks to rudzud for this one, canned 11/08/19
Pours a large foamy creamy rich head with great retention and soapy lacing, very hazy cloudy solid orange color
nose brings citrus and some tropical as usual, loads of mango, like mango sorbet, papaya, tangerine, some pithy mineral almost chalky but not quite, a bit of peachy and apricot stone fruit, orange cream, smooth creamy flaked malts or oats, just a flash of alcohol
Taste rich creamy base malt, lots of flaked proteins and maybe oats again, with a little mineral slight chalky note this time, loads of citrus again, orange creamscicle and orange candy, tangerine, some tropical mango papaya but not much, mild peachy stone fruit again, but getting more of an apricot as it warms, a touch of bitterness and some grapefruit pith, drier finish with a bit more bitterness but still lighter, mild alcohol late
Mouth is med to fuller bod, creamy soft and juicy, medium creamy carb with smaller bubbles, and a light warming alcohol
Overall not bad, if this wasn't Tree House it might be a very well done DNEIPA but being Tree House it was a fun experiment that seems to land somewhere in the middle of their Curiosities.
