At brewery:
Pale yellow haze is COVID plastic cup, but lacing is grand. Somewhat soft, but with a raw bitterness and likely oat in back, very light bite of alcohol or hop burn.

Nose and taste are catty/dank with some melon and tropical notes thrown in. Oat comes through as well in taste, while overripe tropical fruit gets a little more say in nose.

Save for the oat presence and feel, this has a bit of an old school IPA side to it, which is quite welcomed by me.

On tap in DC

Hops: Citra, Nelson

Sort of a west coast/new england style hybrid. Very soft, and the Nelson seemed to stand out more than Citra. One of the best local beers around.

From a growler, pours a very hazy glowing orange. Big head of white foam leaves lots of lacing. Smell is tropical and earthy with a touch of onion. Taste follows. Soft feel. Dial back the onion and this will be spectacular.

Poured a cloudy yellow body with two-finger head that stuck around for awhile. Citrusy/orange aroma with some tangerine sweetness that borders on white grapefruit. The beer is smooth and light with the bitterness tampered down and more of a light hoppiness that balances with some sweetness.

Another great beer from Ocelot! This one just hits all the right notes and has a good kick! I should have gotten a growler of this, but "I'll be back"!

I loved Home and this was no disappointment. Smell was lighter than I expected, but the taste was an incredible citrus taste with some hop bite. Bitterness was relatively low, but the malt taste was also relatively light. Great beer from Ocelot once again.
