Oakes Profile - Brewver

Slight haze, med head. Nice pine, got that cascade, good chinookian bitterness. Citra is mild but superfluous next to the baller hop that is chinook. A bit yeasty, malt has some biscuit, is okay.

Beautiful dark brown, more of a toasty, nutty aroma. Lightish body for style. Light nutty, mild roasted coffee, some chocolatey richness to the body in the end. A bit of alcohol as well. Good flavour development but this is begging for some richer sugars. It’s a good beer.

But this idea, if amped up to baller levels like 14%, would be another level of class, and a base for phenomenal things, like a four year heaven hill or willett residency.

Pale, some haze. Medium head. Bright hop with peach and pear notes. Fruity, stewed peaches, pear, lychee, big fluffy malt, lots of alcohol. Damn good for style. Balanced bitterness.

On tap at Beach House. Hazy pale amber, medium head. Mild smoke aroma. Decent smoke palate. Kind of dry, maybe could use more residual sugar and less yeastiness. It’s not a miss but it could be better.

Deep gold colour, nice effervescence, thick head. Malty aroma, slight bready note. Pale malt, a bit of juiciness, so not perfect, but decent. Good balancing bitterness. Solid dortmunder.
