Inhabited Form (old) was listed as retired, had a different ABV. 2020 version (May 2020) is a 7% Dry-Hopped Oat Lager (?)
From the Can, no date, early May 2020.

L - As you'd expect with oat in the grist, not clear and looks murky like a Kolsch. Good head, good lacing at 7% not a lightweight bunny here, folks.
S - Wheat, grain, hops, then more hops come through. If you are a purist for Lager, you're not going to appreciate this if you expect traditional Lager. This is not that.
T - A wall of grist and hops comin' at ya - highly reminiscent of a denser, oatier Lizard King - tasty, pineapple dankness here too. Good palate impression, not too bitter, very enjoyable. Think of it as a strong, hoppier wehat and you're there.
F - Great carbonation, good balance, good masking of ABV, and a deft use of oats (which is no small thing these days).
O _ a well made, nicely experimental oat grist lager that is quite enjoyable. A great summer beer, too, but don't have more than a couple. that 7% will sneak up on ya.... like a pale horse.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. You definitely get the oat flavor dominating this otherwise normal pale lager, which livens it up and gives it a different twist. Cerebral always experiments with their beers, and this is one of their better creations.

Pale straw yellow body; very tiny carbonation bubbles gently rising; thick and frothy white head, sudsy. Fresh lemon and cut grass aroma; white pepper. Sea water with a touch of lemon in the taste; kind of spicy and herbal; fairly intense bitterness. Medium-light body; crisp; semi-dry; some citrus dryness.

Now here is an interesting twist on a lager. I don't claim to notice much presence of the oats, but the hops are front and center with this one. The hops bring on a dominant spice and herbal presence. The fairly light body with its gentle malt base makes for a great vehicle to deliver the hop flavors.
