Last week, we tapped the Blushing Ape Oatmeal India Red Ale, and it is bold, bright, and balanced. I enjoy the oatmeal pale ale style and the effect oats have on a variety of styles, so I thought- why not go bigger, hoppier, and more complex on the grain bill? Simcoe and Centennial hops give the Ape a big spicy citrus flavor with hints of Ruby Red, and Centennial and Cascade were used to dry-hop to make for a lovely aroma. A malt base of Maris Otter and specialty malts inclusive of Caramel 60L, Victory, CaraMunich II, Biscuit, and Aromatic malt carry the hops and lend to a juicy flavor, and the oats lend to a very silky mouthfeel. With so many complexities, every sip can present different flavors and qualities.
