Oatsplosion
Central State Brewing

My bro in law brought a can of this beer to my parents for Lavor Day weekend. It poured a hazy yellow with fizzy head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had light lemon citrus flare. The taste was nicely balance and easy to drink with floral citrus hop presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with fizzy carbonation. Overall it is a decent beer.

 

 

 

 

American IPA brewed with flaked oats, Citra, and Mosaic hops. Poured from a can into a Goose Island tulip. A gentle pour produces a pale gold, hazy pour with a mammoth 3-finger crown of rocky white foam with good retention (it's so large I feared some kind of bacterial infection). Those hops really come through on the nose (what nose I can get through all this foam), as I get fresh orange, lemon, and pineapple.

Medium-light body with a zippy feel (yes - zippy) and a bright, fruity flavor. Tons of carbonation really open up the palate and stimulate the tastebuds. I haven't felt tingling like this since the last time I had pop rocks. Up front I get lemon and soda crackers, then it dries out at mid-palate and starts to drink like a sparkling wine. Finishes stony-dry with lingering hints of lemon. Very refreshing and drinkable. Recommended for those who like sharp, pleasant-tasting IPAs with light body.

 

Pours a hazy golden color. 5/4 inch head of a white color. Great retention and decent lacing. Smells of citrus, citrus hops, slight sweet malt, wheat, earthiness, and floral hops. Fits the style of an American IPA. Mouth feel is smooth and clean, with an average carbonation level. There is a noticeable dryness, slight bitterness, and tartness as well. Tastes of strong citrus hops, slight citrus, earthiness, wheat, pale malt, slight sweet malt, and a hint of floral hops. Overall, good aroma, appearance, and body.

 

This one is a very hazy, cloudy, milky beer, with a tall and thick head. It comes from a tall can. The aroma is of under-ripe fruit, must, and yeast. Interesting, but not great. The taste is balanced, and has a fruit flavor....melon and berry. Full in body. Just okay.

 

 

 

 

16 oz can served in a Tervis at the 2018 Soulshine Farm Music & Arts Festival.
Look: Hazy golden body with a fine white head.
Very hoppy with medium-high carbonation.

pretty average beer. Especially because I feel like there isn't transparency in advertising here. If a beer is brewed with flaked oats I generally think hazy NE - this my friend is not.
Pours clear almost Berliner Weiss look
Smell is citra - ish with some fruits
flavor is similar w/ a dry finish
Super drinkable, but also very mediocre. Maybe that's what they were going for. These aren't cheap though, so I expect something a little more.

 

 

Pours a murky light lemon yellow with a huge white head of small bubbles that recedes quickly leaving minimal lacing. Aroma is lemon and crackers. Flavor is tart lemon and grapefruit with very little pine hop bite. Feel is smooth and creamy yet very well carbonated. Fairly one dimensional in it's tartness. Overall a fair beer.
