Looks awesome, creamy and juicy. Smells like citra hops and citrus pith. The mouthfeel is perfect, creamy but not heavy, but the body is a little thin. Worth a buy.

1984 is the best Van Halen album let's get that covered. Oat Cream IPA with Mosaic, Citra, and Cryo Simcoe, picked up from the brewery after the NJ Brewery Running Series 5k.

Pours a perfect hazy yellow, and with a white head.

Aromas are a bit amalgamated between what I would guess is a very high hopping rate and lactose. Passionfruit, lime, and pineapple.

Very punchy flavor. It carries a very intense *hook* as soon as it settles on the palate. Pineapple candy, touch of pink guava, and maybe key lime.

This one tends to be the sort of NEIPA that has quite the aftertaste. It is also a bit sticky tasting on the finish, kind of like hop burn but it is not that noticeable. The lactose and oat cream do make everything else about it very easy to drink.

So this isn't my favorite IPA, not even by 4C, but it does its job. It has a slightly off kilter flavor profile and is a nice easy drinker, especially with its mouthfeel I would expect it to be very popular going forward.
