In this beer I could get a little of the berry fruitiness of the Golden Naked Oats that people had written about- also some oaty, grainy notes. Some coffee in the nose as well. Pretty balanced. I think twice as much of the Golden Naked Oats would've been better.

I love the 2.9% beer. Biscuity and much fuller in flavour than it's meager gravity would suggest. A great quaffer. Next time I might add 1% dark crystal malt. Maybe.

American Pub Beer. Nicely fruity, citrusy, and piney. Pleasant and drinkable with some biscuity maltiness and medium body.
