A smooth and creamy session-style american pale ale. With a straw-colored hue this beer’s dry nature with affable bitterness and lovely hop aroma makes it an easy choice for drinking anytime of the day, even when the sun is rising. This beer is based on the first beer ever produced at the Fort George Brewery (Beer#1). We decided to add 50lbs. of oatmeal to make it even better.

Can - Bready and grapefruit. Clearish gold with a nice head. Bitter and grapefruit niceness. Oatmeal? Not getting it but don’t care, it’s good.

Draught at Hales Ales Brewery and Pub, Seattle

Hazy blond color with creamy head. The aroma is lightly citrusy. Dry but smooth mouthfeel; crisp malts, with nice lemony hopping.
Fresh, pleasant.

Can at the Croydonia Tasting, picked up from Newport Market in Bend, 13/07/13. Hazy orange/light golden with a thin off white head. Nose is bitter orange, hops, light grapefruit, grass. Taste comprises hops, grass, orange pith, light tropical fruit sundae, touch of pine. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry finish with a little hop bitterness. Super drinkable APA - can’t believe the low (ish) scores this one gets!

Can at Croydonia Tasting thanks to Colin. It pours cloudy pale golden orange with a medium white head. The nose is fresh orange, passion fruit, piss, tangerine and grapefruit. The taste is full of citrus...orange, grapefruit, pithy lemon, straw, hay, pine and decent bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Lots of clean citrus. Very easy drinking stuff.

Can shared at the Croydonia July 2013 Tasting - East Croydon. Thanks to Colin for this one. Pours cloudy orange-gold, some mild sediment kicking about, a creamy white head. Nice pissy hop nose, some tangerine, too. Light sweet flavor with clean and dry citrus, orange rind, pine needles. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Clean, rindy bitter finish, more pee, pine, grapefruit and tangerine. Solid. Nice hot weather beer.

Interested when I first read the name of the beer on the can. Super and I mean SUPER hazy golden coloured body with a large, dense, five centimetre tall white head - this looks like a glass of pure wort. Aroma of great fresh grapefruity, piney hops with some herbal notes, a ton of yeast and some nice mellow malts, but I don’t smell oats. Medium-bodied; Strong piney and citrus hops showing cascades with a lot of earthiness soon afterwards and a nice full-bodied finish that must be the oats. Aftertaste shows a more pronounced alcohol warmth with a ridiculous body that isn’t perceptable until after a sip. Overall, a very nice and well put together beer. For sampling tons of new styles and concoctions all the time, this one still surprised me and I thoroughly enjoyed it - I’ll try to find this more the next time I head to the PNW, as it’s a very good beer and I’m glad I brought it back home! I sampled this sixteen ounce can purchased from Bottleworks in Seattle, Washington on 10-February-2013 for US$2.75 sampled at home in [the real] Washington on 03-April-2013.
