Took me a while to zero in on what I was tasting here, and when it hit it was a real "oh yeah!" moment. It's lychees. Buckets and buckets of lychees.

Pours a pineapple yellow with a thick, persistent collar of foam.

Smell is creamy and sweet. I now know it's lychees I'm smelling but was leaning towards grape, grass and lactose at first.

Taste is creamy, subtle, soft lychees, and then lychees by the bucketload after that. Did I mention lychees?

Mouthfeel is full and soft, with the flaked oats imparting a velvety sensation that complements the taste.

This is a very nice beer and worthy of contemplation. Despite its low alcohol, it would be remiss of anyone to smash this on a hot day. The journey is half the fun with this one, and it will reward a slow and steady reduction.

Cheers!

A - Look is great. Pale Yellow hazy colour, like a classy Hoegaarden. With a thick White head that laces
S - Classic light hop with citrus being the dominant aroma and a little honey sweetness. Impressive balance.
T - A little earthy, with flavours that echo the aromas. Great stuff.
M - Light to medium body and carbonation. Well crafted for what it desires to be
O - Lovely balanced sessionable IPA that you will struggle to beat.
