Description
OCB has been hitting, hopping and dosing brews with creativity since acid-washed jeans were hip — throwing a bit of kind into the kettle whenever possible. Look for our hop-soaked ales and delicious lagers around New England and the mid-Atlantic.

From a dollar can, pours like a milkshake IPA. My can does not look like this one, it's a cheaper 2-color blue and yellow can with simple printing. Sharper perfumy & apparently sweet hop olfactory for a nose. Eye is nice thick frothy overflowing head. First taste is real fresh rubber tree bark flavored, chewing on green rotting fermenting grapefruit rinds that have been pulverized with fresh green season pine sap, all within a food processor. Blah. Almost boozy but mostly straight up bitter ass. Ruined my lager loven taste buds for a good thirty minutes. Somebody send me a clean fresh cheap americam lager for a chaser, dunkah shern. OK, oreo, lion's head light pilsner, opah! Hey but, it's a perfectly on style IPA, even with a date code of 1/2023, it kicks my lassy loven taste buds; she her hers: There, you have it - at least it has decent carbonation - hehehhehehh.

(Draught at Man in the Moon, Stockholm, 6 Feb 2023) Hazy golden colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of herbs, orange, peaches, passion-fruit and dough. Fruity, hoppy taste with citrus, orange, white bread, mandarin, pineapple, and a balanced herbal/citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty, well balanced and refreshing. Very nice.

Hazy golden-orange with a nice creamy-bubbly warm, light-beige coloured head with good stay, and dirty-creamy lacing. Pineapple and grassy aromas. Still fruity in the taste, but better balanced by citrus notes, especially some zest to cut the sweetness, and blending with the grassiness. A milder IPA, with still decent haziness, citrus and hoppiness.

Part of their IPA Power Pack 12-cans. Golden hazy colour with an orange hue, a frothy-creamy head, good stay and full dirty lacing. The mouthfeel is juicy with good dryness in the end, tart lingering. Citrus (orange, lemon) aromas and taste. Some grassiness in the flavours. A good regular, lightly hazed IPA.
