The Oatmeal Pale Ale is sort of an unusual style, and something not often seen in San Diego. Most of our city’s beers are dry, crisp, and bitter. This is a mellower pale ale, with a full, supportive body that gives a strong malt presence with a lot of floral and tangerine rind hop flavors to balance it out. Smelling this beer is a treat, with a big oatmeal and citrus aroma. Creamy and smooth, lightly bitter, a beautiful gold with a bright white head and beautiful lacing. Excellent for those who enjoy a more evenly balanced pale.

Draught at St. Augustine's, Vancouver
Hazy golden color. The oatmeal adds some character, but it's a bit earthy; the hopping is bold and moderately resiny with moderate citru peel final.
Nice.

@ St. Augustine's, Vancouver. Light amber, without much head. Earthy, touch of orange on the nose. Has a toasty hop note, and the malts are a little bit sticky and chewy. Decent - I can see that they are aiming differently with this one, and maybe awa

Keg at Monkey Paw, SD, 21/04/14. Hazed orange amber with a moderate off white covering. Nose is toasted malt, bitter orange, straw, light citric peel,caramel, bread dough. Taste comprises orange pith,straw, light hops, touch of grapefruit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. So so APA lacks hop presence.

16oz can pours clear copper with near white head of foam. The aroma is sort of floral and a bit spicy with a hint of malts to maybe biscuit malts. The taste follows suit with fairly bold floral hop notes that have some firm bitterness but remain too floral for my particular taste. Behind the floral notes murmurs some spicy hops that grow to a decent level bitterness to midway and into the finish accompanied by a bit of biscuit like maltiness. Yep, too floral for me but good beer though.

Can at Brewster’s LAX. Deep copper-amber color with a fine, low head. Malty caramel nose, citrus, peach or apricot, nice fruit. Rich full malt flavor, creamy and tasty but not sweet. Tangerine and apricot, grass. Very bitter finish. Very full and drinkable, also original. Nice stuff.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours light amber with a creamy white head. Aroma of floral and citrus - it’s a bit dusty. Not understanding the malt. Full bodied. Creamy carb. I’m pretty sure I get oatmeal - there’s apparently a lot in it. The main flavor is tangerine rind. This is very hoppy. Finishing dry and bitter. Very nice.
