An all around good brew!
Pours a tarnished orange that's fairly hazy, nice head that leaves some lace.
Lots of pine and citrus in the aroma.
Flavours of piny resin and grapefruit rind, with herbal and slightly dank undertones.
Really smooth body, with a light hop acidity.
With a different choice of hops, you could call this a contemporary juicy IPA.
Really good brew, thanks Yardsale!

355ml can, a re-release of the unfiltered offering that they made for their one year brewing anniversary, and ostensibly an 'Oat IPA'.
This beer pours a slightly glassy, medium golden yellow colour, with three chubby fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and well bubbly ecru head, which leaves some pleasant ground cover plant lace around the glass as it slowly ebbs away.
It smells of mildly dank pine resin, some orange, white grapefruit, and aged lemon citrus, gritty and grainy pale malt, a touch of cereal otherness, some chalky flintiness, ethereal vegetal notes, and further leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and doughy pale malt, still noticeable oaten breakfast cereal (i.e. the metric ton a week of Cheerios that my toddler scarfs down), peppy and resinous pine needles, now muddled citrus rind esters, ephemeral bell pepper essences, and more gentle leafy, weedy, and herbal hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly understated in its generally supportive frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and quite smooth, the initially purported (and validated earlier) oats still showing off their wares. It finishes off-dry, a bit of mixed malt jousting with the lingering effects of those piney, floral, and vegetal green astringencies.
Overall, another engaging and enjoyable IPA from this town of Bronco renown. The oats' contribution is felt throughout, and in a very good way, while the heady Equinox hops almost have the run of the place, as any IPA worth its salt should encourage. Anyways, check this one out, it won't disappoint.
