Growler from the brewery - cheers to AC. Pours hazy gold with a creamy, pure white head. Great aroma, dry and pithy, with lots of citrus, some pale malts. Light sweet flavour with heather pithy citrus, tangerine, mild rindy bitterness. Light-medium bodied with average carbonation. Fairly clean on the finish, with more pithy dryness, tangerine. Super clean, nice and drinkable.

Growler split two ways at fridge temp. Looks like carbonated orange juice. Smells of woody paste, orange peel and acid. Very dense and spritz carb that fades fast to an oily thick mash. Acidic orange, grapefruit. Pine. A strange medicinal bitter finish.

64 oz growler, Thank you Adam and Heather_B! Murky Milkshake IPA looking (Thank you Beer Advocate for your DB review of Tired Hands, way back when) , Aroma is bold citrus, earthy pine with notes of pale grain.
Bitterness is moderately bitter with a good amount of juicy hints. Medium bodied with a mild carbonation level. texture starts juicy and turns mildly dry. Really damn nice!

32ounce growler. Split 2 ways. Extremely hazy, nice 2 finger off-white head. looks great probably one of the best looking IPAs put out by these guys so far. Cloudy, hazy off-orange looks like a juicy orange. I made the huge mistake of filling my pint glass to the very top so I can’t get an aroma immediately. Flavor, very piney, actually then a watery finish. Juice up front then pine, then water with a little grapefruit. aroma is great though.

Reviewed from notes.
Growler share with Henry.
My portion was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a black color with a small off white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Slight messy lace.
The aroma had some milk chocolate/cocoa powder, roasted coffee beans, sweet oats, subtle wood, light cereal/grain sweetness with a touch of earthiness.
The flavor seemed to blend fairly nice between the roast and the sweet and bringing in the earthy portions in a semi-bitter sort of way for extra balance. Light roasty aftertaste and finish.
The palate was about medium bodied with a pretty good sessionability about it. Carbonation felt good. ABV felt good. Solid smoothness along my tongue.
Overall, pretty good oatmeal stout well worthy of having again. Hope they bring this back next Winter or Autumn.
