Strange brew- definitely worth exploring- not your average DIPA.
Made with oatmilk and hopped with Galaxy, Vic Secret, and Bru-1- new experimental hop: https://www.johnihaas.com/bru-1/
Very cloudy pineapple color with a 4F head in a Spielgelau IPA glass.
I’m getting unexpected flavors. The aroma and taste are weird- unlike any flavor profile in a beer I’ve tasted. Grape, melon, stone fruit in a very different almost exotic combo.
The oat milk certainly adds to the MF,but I’m concentrating on the exotic flavor. Very moderately hoppy finish.
Overall: quite a different brew worth trying. Not my kind of flavor profile, but definitely go for it if you want a different craft beer experience.

This is definitely a first for me... an "oatmilk" IPA, which I guess must be an IPA that otherwise would probably feature lactose/milk sugar but which instead uses oatmilk. Oatmilk is, apparently, basically the result of straining milled and liquefied oats, so I guess this really isn't much different from an oat-based IPA, which are quite common these days. I assume part of the final boil/sparge water amount for this recipe was replaced with oatmilk, then. Who knows, then? I do know that this is 8.5% and hopped with Vic Secret, Galaxy, and BRU-1, which is quite a nice lineup of cool modern hop varietals. Let's give it a sip and see what's up with it.
The pour is very cloudy, as expected, with a golden-orange color that features a two finger head. Though the foam does collapse quickly to about a quarter-finger, it leaves behind quite good lacing and has alright legs with a moderately-hazy surface. Not the best looking IPA I've had lately, but definitely not the worst either.
The nose is very oat-forward, which is interesting. I had expected the use of oatmilk to somehow lessen the actual oat presence when compared to featuring whole oats in the brewing process, but I guess it does make some sort of sense that the oat character is more concentrated this way. It smells very cereal-like, with a soft hoppiness that reminds me of tangerine and melon along with some ester-driven notes. A light sniff of the 8.5% ABV is present as well. Some baking spice (cinnamon/nutmeg) seems to come across as well. Not your everyday IPA, especially for one featuring VS and Galaxy. I do know that BRU-1 is one of those weird modern varietals that deals in spice notes and stone fruit more than the aggressive tropical-ness of the other types in this brew, so maybe that's the reason.
Yeah, this is heavy on the oat character. Honestly, it's oddly satisfying but you have to be in the mood/prepared to drink hoppy oat flavored beer with this one. It's unapologetically oat-y, if you will. The spice from the nose translates here as well, and the feel is heavy and filling. Some bubble gum flavors, light apricot, grassiness, spice, and a touch of pine with some fruitier suggestions of passion fruit and pineapple in the aftertaste. Not hoppy enough or as aggressive/green as I want, really. Quite unusual. Not going to ever want to return to it, but it definitely does something new. It's up to you, the drinker, to determine whether or not this something new is something worthwhile. I find all unusual techniques intriguing, but in terms of drinking and enjoying this, it's not quite what I would want.
