Collaboration with Overtone Brewing.
Some time ago we had the massively talented hop druids @overtonebrewing over for some barbecue. We discussed the importance of a 70°C whirlpool, survivable hop compounds and the impact of flaked oats on hazy IPAs. We also brewed a beer - The Green Room DIPA, 8.0% ABV. Loaded with the juiciest Strata, Galaxy and Motueka hops we could source over a malt backbone of Golden Promise and a big (30%) load of oats.

Pours a hazy, orange coloration with a large, fluffy head, Smells of light biscuity malt and tropical, citrus hops, with notes of passion fruit and lime peel, as well as some dank accents. Taste is a great balance of light biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, slightly grassy and dank hops, with tropical and citrus notes of passion fruit, papaya and lime peel, as well as hints of grassy weed. Finishes with a light/medium bitterness and some passion fruit, lime peel and weed lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
I honestly found this pretty disappointing and was expecting more from it from the hop bill and glowing reviews. Not sure if that has anything to do with age, it just being overrated or my current emotional state, who can really tell with breweries using unknown BB dates instead of canning dates. It was nice, but that's pretty much it. I would love to be able to just stop purchasing beer from breweries that don't use canning dates, but then I could hardly purchase any beer at all anymore.
