An 8.5% exploration of a far-away place, Buddhist Prodigy pairs Australian Galaxy hops with the Pacific Northwest’s modern classic Amarillo. The two combine to form tidal waves of orange — sweet Cara Cara, bright Clementine, fresh-pressed juice — with a steady undercurrent of guava.
We’ve made some changes to the DIPA’s construction since its last appearance some five-and-a-half years ago. This batch was brewed a grist that’s heavy on pilsen malt, supported by English pale malt, and complimented with malted oats and the rye-wheat hybrid triticale. Think of it as an amplified version of our recent modern pale ales. Smooth and refreshing.
So have a glass and catch your breath.

Draught at Revel: pours slightly hazy with a white head. Aroma is citrusy, light maltiness. Taste is sort of juicy, more malts than expected. Fine.

Perhaps the best Ocelot beer I’ve had yet... until the next best comes along. In the Dulles beer Olympics, this means that Ocelot has gained a hair on Aslin... we’ll see what Aslin’s next move is.... haha. Pineapple and something like lychee - maybe that’s the Buddhist sense. Rambutan. Or even mangosteen - the best of tropical fruit. Light hint of pepper and pine. Bitter finish that leaves the ghost of a booze sense. Tap at Meridian Pint.
