A brand new 7% IPA loaded up with flaked and malted oats to lay a soft and fluffy base to highlight some South African hops. We used Southern Star in the kettle and dry hopped, heavily with Southern Passion with some Simcoe and Citra in support.
Super crushable and perfect for drinking when a certain song gets stuck in your head.

A thanks to the commander of the canquest, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a hazy golden/orange color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of citrus, mango. Taste is oranges, notes of grapefruit and passion fruit, fairly mild bitterness. Feels medium/full bodied in the mouth and overall it's disappointing that this beer is no longer being brewed.

Can to snifter.
Fantastic.
Look: Pulpy look with deep yellow color, big frothy off-white head, excellent retention.
AROMA: Grapefruit, mango, fresh fall rain on a lush grassy soccer field. A little perfume.
Taste: Grapefruit, lemon-lime, biscuit.
FEEL: A tad astringent, but smooth finish.
I am really enjoying this

A: The beer is very hazy to cloudy pale yellow in color. It poured with a finger and a half white head that took a long time to settle down, eventually leaving a short head covering the surface and lots of thick lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of citrusy hops are present in the nose along with hints of spiciness.
T: The taste follows the smell, but has a little more spicy flavors from the hops. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and somewhat juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The use of African hops makes this IPA unique and has some interesting aromas and flavors of spiciness.
Serving type: can

Canned 11/28. Medium hazy orange with a fluffy off-white head that fades leaving decent but not substantial lacing and a thin ring of foam around the glass. The nose isn't consistent, some times i get a nice sweet citrusy/bubblegum scent but I also get something mildly similar to buttered popcorn. Nice bitterness with juicy grapefruit, a little grassy. Very soft mouthfeel with a smooth and easy finish.
