Notes via stream of consciousness: This is a hazy IPA at 7% ABV with just 28 IBUs. It's brewed with Pilsner malt, malted oats, and flaked oats, and then hopped with Chinook, Rakau, and Galaxy hops. The body is a very cloudy golden orange and there are hundreds of bits of particulate in suspension, so much co that it looks like the stars in the sky. The head is a 3/4 inch cap of white foam. The aroma isn't all that bright and I'm not sure that this is dry hopped, although it could be, it depends on how many hops they may have used. I'm getting some apple, apricot, and passionfruit as well as bready malt. How is the malt bready though with just Pilsner and oats? Whatever, maybe my nose is off. The taste delivers a more grainy and grassy maltiness so I'm not sure what's going on in the aroma, and the hop notes are clearer. Passionfruit, apricot, and apple remain but there's also some peach, non-specific citrus, and delicate pine. It's gently sweet and fruity, and actually quite nice. You do get some bitterness and pine coming out in the finish which is nice as that dries you out, cleans everything up, and gets you ready for the next sip. In the mouth it's medium bodied but with a fuller appearance as there's a lot of protein in it! The head didn't really hold up that well, perhaps because it has a moderate, fine-bubbled carbonation to it, but the lacing is excellent. So, what to say about this beer overall? It's not going to wow any hop heads. It's really quite a flavorful treat though. I'm familiar with Galaxy and Chinook, which I'm guessing was used just for bittering, but I haven't got any experience with Rakau. I like the balanced fruitiness that this has so I'm going to have to get a hold of some and try it out.
