This IPA is brewed from malted barley to which oat is added. A first hopping is done in fermentation tanks with Citra and Colombus hops. After this stage of fermentation, the brewery practices a "dry hopping" adding several times Citra hops again. The dry hopping process doesn't bring bitterness and on the contrary allows to develop the aromas usually lost during boiling.

On tap at The Black Sheep, pours a hazy orange with a small white head. Nose is hugely fruity and quite hoppy, with tropical fruits upfront. Flavour is very hoppy and fruity as well, with tropical fruits, resinous hops, and just enough dry grainy malt to back. Massively fruity and hoppy. Nice IPA.

oh God is that good...on draft, hazy gold in color, fluffy white head that leaves some nice lacing on the glass. Pine, floral, citrus hop aroma floating up from even a few feet away. Taste is the same which is lovely, but the extra step here is the mouthfeel, remove the astringent medicinal quality that some IPA’s have and insert a hop bomb that rests on a cloud for your tasting pleasure.

Keg @ Black Sheep, Dublin [031214]
Light orange, hazy, thin white head, some lacing
Aroma of lots of tropical fruits, piney hops, orange, juicy fruits
Taste of citrus zest, juicy fruits, tropical fruits, mango, passion fruit, grapefruit, bitter zest, nice sweet fruity pale malts background, really tasty
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, bit oily, smooth texture from the oatmeal, lots of bitter hops with a balanced sweet malt background. Finish has more bitter zest hop in the linger
Overall - Really good. Easy drinking for the abv. Cracking stuff. Hopefully this will be a regular...it’s one of their best

Draught at Brewdock. Deep orange amber with a solid head, good lacing. Aroma is sugared grapefruit. Big juicy flavour, pineapple, mango, tropical fruits, on a robust but not intimidating bitterness. Really like oats in beer.
