Undated can drunk 6/26/18.
Minimally hazy, rosy-peach-to-copper body is topped by a frothy, white head showing strong retention.
Oatmeal is actually noticeable in the nose with a sort of cascade-like hop character that lends notes of pine, grapefruit, lemon and light potpourri/tea. Definitely not a NE, then. Clean, and not hugely aromatic, perhaps the oat dulls things a bit? No resin, flaw or alcohol.
In the mouth it's moderately bitter with notes of pine, lemon, tea and white grapefruit seen in the nose. It doesn't get resinous, however and displays the typical perfect texture/carbonation that I've come to expect from these guys. Lightly sweet malt character emerges with warming, on the finish and provide good balance to the engaging bitterness. Oat-like notes are still noticeable and quite enjoyable. Very cool that this hop schedule allows it to come through. Awesome stuff, as always and clean with no resin whatsoever.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving gloppy spiders. Hot caramel and oatmeal aromas. Soft with sweet caramel and pepper upfront turning to resin in the medium length finish.
