3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Crystal clear looks, light golden, streams of carbonation, solid head formation. Light but malty aroma, tropical fruitiness, tempered by a touch of woody dryness (or is that the oatmeal). Pretty light bodied, smooth and silky. A hop dryness wraps itself around what is essentially a fruity, malty ale. Tropical fruit juice, while the oatmeal is certainly noticeable. A touch of hops just jumps in at the end.

Light, almost honeyed entry. Slight viscous quality; this one glides easily over the tongue. Big on butter & butterscotch flavors. Silky, round and full on the palate, with some clover honey tones at the tip of the tongue. Lingering, honey/butter finish. This is a fattening beer. I could drink it all day long. One of my favorites.

Very tasty brew! One I’ll buy again. Very nice aroma, nice body, carbonation and finish… a great guzzler of an ale.

A hazy glowing golden color. So-so head. Awesome nose of cookie dough like malts and hints of rolled oats. Almost mediumed bodied. BIG oatmeal flavor,smooth pale malts with just enough hops in the finish. This is quite unique and a joy to drink. Tasty. Thanks PsychProf!

Very interesting. Hopped quite well. The oatmeal is very noticeable in the nose. Get the oats again in the finish with the real unique maltiness it has. Really quite refreshing.

This thing before me is a strange brew, indeed. A ’pale oat ale’ by name, it is a sweet, bready-nosed concoction that appears to be a mild-mannered APA in the glass...actually, more of a gold APA with a weird yellowness. Bizarre. A bock by some other name is still...Equinox.

Advertised as a pale oat ale. Decent, if undistinguished, there was however a real interesting cooked oatmeal flavor hiding in this one that came on as I drank more of it. Perhaps it was the power of suggestion, but... Interesting beer.

Sharp, well hopped, effervescent. Kick ass aroma with the subtle and not entirely disagreeable skunk. Delicious.
