Dream Wax

This oat cream IPA from Branch and Bones Artisan Ales out of Dayton, OH is not what I was expecting. My past experience with Oat Cream IPA’s has been a creamy, dreamy experience…however this one fell short of my expectations. The beer poured a nice hazy yellow but with almost no head at all. The mouthfeel has some of the creaminess that comes from adding oats to the mix but the similarities start to fade from there. This brew has flavors that I am having a hard time placing my finger on. Some sweetness but without distinct flavors to stand out here. The beer is a bit flat. I would not call this a bad beer it is simply not what I was wanting from an oat dream IPA. I am curious now as to what this brewery can do. I will look for more of their beers to see what their potential is.
