Oatmeal IPAs

Abrasive is a phenomenon Dipa.

 

Lervig from Norway brews a nice Oatmeal IPA as well.

I don't know man. If you add Molasses or Honey or anything of that sort they all impart different dimensions to a beer. Like a previous poster said. Adjust IMO would be more in line with Corn or Rice, which in turn still add different characters to beer. I'm not sure what your getting at.

 

Tired Hands/Other Half Oat Junkie was pretty damn tasty.

 

Agreed! I'll do you one better though.. SUCKS!

 

Double Oatmeal IPA by Fate Brewing is one of my top 5.

 

I think the term has changed from it's original intent.

Ex. Cereal grains to keep AALs lower in alcohol vs adding chocolate for flavor.

 

I was expecting quite a few responses with SUCKS. That was the first hoppy beer I ever had that incorporated oats in the grain bill.

 

Maybe the closest parallel is Bourbon. IMO a Rye Bourbon isn't so much spicy as it is Sharp. After all Scotch/ Bourbon/ beer all start the same, until distillation. I don't get a flavor profile either , just an addition that is a bit sharp, maybe a bit abrupt on finish. Lol, it's all I got.

 

You are correct...but it also bumps up ABV if mashed with the rest of the grains. I suppose you could mash (steep) it aside from the grains with enzymatic/diastatic power and you could get what you describe, since it can't convert starches on its own.

 

Could just be a palate perception thing. I definitely would characterize the rye addition as adding a spicy flavor, both in my homebrew and in beers such as Hop Rod Rye from Bear Republic). Doesn't mean everyone would. I would also characterize high-rye content bourbons (Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace, etc) as having a spicier character in relation to their lower-rye content competitors. Flavor perception is a pretty personal thing. Someone who eats Asian food 90% of the time (me) might perceive flavors in beer/wine/liquor differently than someone who eats only Italian food for instance. Doesn't mean anyone is wrong.

 

The brewing industry terminology hasn't changed - but many people misuse the term "adjunct".

 

Should have said lost...

 

How exactly was Sucks not the most mentioned beer on this thread?

 

No one thought salt and caramel sounded good, so why not give it a try?

 

Coffee IPA's are already here dude!!!

 

I second this … very underrated beer

 

fort George makes a really good one!
