Burnside Brewing Co., Portland.
Pale ale with rolled oats
22oz bottle, 5.6%abv
First, I'm happy to report that this beer is actually pourable, unlike their IPA from last night.
Color is golden amber, with some cloudiness from chill haze.
Aroma is mildly hoppy with a hint of maltiness.
Flavor is mild all around but nicely balanced. A nice smoothness and hint of sweetness are probably attributable to the oats, but it could be some crystal malt as well.
Like the IPA though, the finish is a bit overly bitter with a hint of harshness. Not bad -- I do love hops after all -- but seems overpowering for the style.
Nice beer though, and way better than the weird IPA.
