Ticks: 9

Sometimes you’ve just got to put a few hundred litres of oat milk in the brew. We love oats and heap generous quantities into all our hazy IPAs, sometimes 2 or 3 varieties. This time we are turning the oats up to 11 with the addition of some quality oat milk which adds a rich, smooth finish to IPAs. We’re layering it quality Citra and some tropical El Dorado which imparts some nice sharp Pineapple to complement the sweeter Citra flavours. Expect a rich IPA that finishes a little sweeter but still with that sharpness we love in our hazies.
