Pour is a really thick and murky yellow with almost no head at all. Aroma is citrus and little tropical fruit and an even small red berry. Flavor is more citrus and tropical fruit hops. Super thick mouthfeel, I guess from the oats, prevents a nice roll over the tongue. A little bitterness shows up as well. Decent but a bit too thick to get a real good feel for it.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated January 9, 2020. Aroma is hop forward with light grain and cracker malt notes. Mango, passion fruit, guava, pineapple and tropical citrus with dank, resin notes. Hint of alcohol spice. Pours a very hazy, dull, dusty, yellow straw with a large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly but steadily to a small film that lingers. Fairly high lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt and oat notes. Moderately strong pineapple and tropical citrus not s with lighter guava, passion fruit.and mango. Moderate dank, resin notes and a a hint of alcohol spice. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really nice IPA with lots of great hop notes. I wish there was a bit less of an oat character in the flavor, but it's not as prevalent as in the aroma.
