In an ongoing effort to make beers we like to drink, we decided to take our favorite hops and three different types of oats. A soft, silky smooth mouth-feel from over 25% oats paired with Galaxy, Motueka, and Mosaic hop resins, and our house yeast lend some serious haze.

Draught at Lulu’s, 3/8/17.
Hmmm, well it’s not very hazy and it’s an odd amber color, as well....Beige head atop is medium-sized and rapidly receding.
Was worried this had prematurely oxidized, but I guess they just added a lot of specialty malt for color. Personally I like the look of a very pale golden IPA, but it makes little difference. The nose has doughy yeast, creamy oat and soft, fuzzy, peach and light pineapple-like hop notes. Hints of cherry, honey and juicy mango, as well. Light, soft, sufficient.
In the mouth it’s mildly bitter focusing on highly fruity hops and light bread and dough from yeast and malt. Peaches, pears, apples, cherries and mangos comprise most of the hop notes. Not as soft in texture as would be expected based on all the oat. Rather dry, somewhat thin/watery with light dough lingering. Almost wonder if they shipped the wrong beer or tapped the wrong keg.
