Brewed in collaboration with our friends at Changing Colours, this overnight oat hazy pale is silky like oat milk and bursting with tropical fruit flavours. A long oat rest and heavy dry hop create a smooth saturated haze, while Motueka, Citra Lupomax, and Superdelic bring bright citrus, lime zest, and soft stone fruit notes. Released on Friday the 13th, one day before Valentine's Day. I'm in love.

473mL can, pours an opaque, pale, milky yellow, tiny head. Aroma is full of allium, plenty of chalk, and some earthiness. Flavour is cleaner than expected, with dry oats, some earthiness, light chalkiness, and very restrained hoppiness. Sloppy, pointless, but inoffensive.

Quite pale. No had. Light shallots on this one, but also some minty stone fruit sort of hop expression as well. Malts seem minimal. Light malt. Has a mellow character, with lemon rind notes, again that mint. The malt is suboptimal, hop bitterness lacking, it feels like they're aiming for aromatic hop only without any of the other aspects of a beer. Kind of exposes all the flaws in the game of these two breweries.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazy blonde with small white head. Juicy citrus and stonefruit hops with touch of allium and dankness, mild creamy oatiness. A bit subdued. Average.

473mL can. Pours murky pale yellow with a minimal white head. Soap, orange citrus, pine, and allium on the nose; pretty yeasty and Citra-y. Flavour has tons of allium, icing sugar, light lemon citrus; laden with yeast and poor hops. It's not the worst, but it's far from good.
