Tropical fruit juice

This was a really delicious beer. Definitely up there with the best I've brewed. I had been reading a lot about northeast-style IPAs this year, since they've really exploded in popularity recently. I've never had the chance to try any of them, but I still like to watch youtube reviews and experience them vicariously. So that made me want to try to make my own.

I had also read Riverwards's posts about Tired Hands Hophands -- another one I've never tried -- so I had a basic idea of how they're done. I didn't have London Ale III, though, but I did have oats. I do have a 100% galaxy hopped IPA with london ale iii fermenting now, and should be kegged in a day or so. So I'll see what 1318 and oats do to a beer.

The resulting beer was extremely tropical and the aroma was massive fruit. Maybe just a hint of bubble gum. I don't think I added enough oats to get that creamy mouth-feel, but it did seem to be creamier than my typical hoppy beers. The oats also seemed to impart a constant haze; usually my beers clear up pretty well after sitting in the keg a few weeks.

This one went fast, just four weeks from kegging to empty. And it prompted another homebrewer to say, you made this?
