Oasis is a Double ESB/IPAish beer that came about from playing around with one of Jeff’s favorite homebrew recipes. Here at Tallgrass we love malt and we love hops, and this beer has both of them in record quantities; well, at least records for our baby brewery.

At a hefty 7.2% ABV and 93 IBU, Oasis is a big beer that has to be priced a bit higher than our regular line of beers. We think that once you taste the over-the-top hops and surprisingly sturdy malt backbone you will realize why it’s worth it.

Definitely not a fruit-extract seasonal shandy, this beer is meant to be enjoyed on the back porch, the front porch, or even on the stoop. What’s a stoop? Well, it’s a good place to drink beer, is what it is.

Canned (backlog). Slightly hazy deep amber colour with a mediumsized creamy, slightly off-white head. Aroma is sugary, citrusy, sweet malty and some mild syrupy notes. Flavour is sweet malts, syrup, caramel, citrus, sweet floral notes as well as some grassy notes. Balanced and pleasant.

Can sampled at a tasting. From notes. Citrus with bread and caramel. Pretty good, but nothing I would seek out again.

Moving out of KS rate-a-poolza. 16oz can poured into a .25L Corsendonk goblet. No date but the store where I bought this fridges their beers. Dateline 20/20 rating

I am pretty much a fan boy for Tallgrass, I drink’em, I like’em, and I rate’em. However, I have put off rating this beer for a while. I definitely drank this when it first came out and I knew my opinion off the bat. This can supports my original opinion. I hate to hate but I cannot understand why this is the highest rated beer from this brewery. Its nothing but a mishmash of malt and hops, too much of both. Too sweet, overly biscuit malts with assertive hops. Eh, my least favorite mix in a beer. Its exactly what they were going for and exactly what I dislike. This rating is a generous homer score.

Bottle. Pours a hazy deep copper color. Nice 2 finger tanish head leaves lacing all the way down! Aroma is upfront caramel toffee malt. Taste is malty, resin-like hoppiness, and bitter grapefruit rind. A "Big" hoppy beer with a strong malt presence makes this a winner. My only wish; the hop characteristics were more pronounced in this one. I like malt too. but I like hops more!

Purchased at Breeze Thru Wine & Spirits in Milwaukee, WI; enjoyed on a rainy Sunday night lounging around the house. Appearance is a cloudy, moderate caramel with an abundant white head that laces to the glass. Aroma is rich in earthy hops, equally malty with a mixture of toasted malt and caramel. Taste is pretty thick, chewy, nice bitterness that sticks around and becomes partially citrusy, as well as a visceral maltiness with a kick from the ABV. I’m liking this one, not quite a session beer but still goes down pretty nicely.
