Jawa (Oat Cream Double IPA)
Browar Cztery Ściany

Appearance: Hazy, very pale, milky. White head, moderately persistent.

Aroma: Predominantly fruity (tropical fruits, mango?), somewhat reminiscent of juice.

Taste: Acidity with a light sweetness balanced by bitterness (grapefruit), which transitions into an aftertaste with a slightly grainy character. Aromatically similar to above, with citrus notes added alongside the fruit.

Mouthfeel: Slight astringency/tingling sensation (lactose?), medium body, bitterness ranging from medium-low to low. The texture is indeed quite creamy (as suggested by the presence of oats in the ingredients).

Overall: The beer is generally good. In aroma, it comes across as juice-like, which I’m not a fan of. In taste, it makes up for it with complexity, but I feel the balance is shifted too far toward sweetness. The bitterness, in my opinion, is too low.

Yellow colour, strongly iridescent. White foam, tall, made up of small to medium-sized bubbles, with a medium-long reduction time.
Aroma fresh, juicy fruity (hoppy), yoghurt-like (lactose). The aroma is very evocative and is associated with a multifruit shake.
Taste moderately sweet, broken by a pleasant grapefruit bitterness.
Alcohol well hidden. Medium saturation upwards. Texture smooth, soft but not yet creamy as you can read on the label. Body high and full. Long fruity aftertaste.
