Ludicrously high usage of oats in the grist contribute to a silky, off-sweet body that is the perfect vehicle for intensely juicy, tropical hop notes of Tangerine, Papaya, and Melon with a subtly sweet finish in place of traditional bitterness.

Poured from a 16oz can into pint glass in April 2023. Adroit Theory Ghost lists this as can #0929out of 1000. There was no canned date on the bottom of the can, but it had a stamp "ANNIHILATION". I drank about 4 months after purchase.

Appearance: Medium gold color with 2-finger white head. It is deep with a very hazy complexion. The head is very thick, and it lasts a minute, leaving a small covering. There is a medium amount of lacing on the glass.

Smell: Strong aroma of pineapple and grapefruit, as well as some hops and pine. The aroma was moderately strong as soon as the can was opened. The fruit aromas are more prominent than the other aromas.

Taste: Nice balanced taste between the fruit (grapefruit and pineapple) and hops that is not overpowering. The sweetness and bitter edge are well-balanced. Has a very nice after-taste that lasts a moderate amount of time. Overall a nice balance and very drinkable.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied. Also, moderate average alcohol, which matches the 7.5% listed on the can.

This is an excellent IPA. It has a nice mix of citrus, hops, and other flavors, which makes it enjoyable. The overall balance is excellent. Another great IPA from Adroit Theory. Adroit Theory continues to produce my favorite IPAs, along with Tired Hands and Tree House. I would definitely buy this again.

Cute l'il skinny can dated 10/20/21 into pint glass. Pours a murky gold with a persistent off-white head. Great lacing! Initial impression is very juicy grapefruit, lime, peach, and melon. Quite sweet. Mouthfeel is thick and sticky. Finish is sweet, fading to a slight hops bitterness. Overall, a very enjoyable if somewhat saccharine NEDIPA.
