Oat Cream IPA may be Reckless’ biggest beer to date, but this refreshing tropical cocktail goes down easier than the sun sinking into the ocean.
Sultana hops are known for bringing a big ol’ pineapple hit to a beer and Sabro hops are famously known for their coconut character. Bring these two together and it’s hard not to start singing the Piña Colada song, even if you didn’t pick up the references on the can’s label.
The beer isn’t one dimensional - among the tinned pineapple and desiccated coconut vibes you’ll also find some orange juice flavour joining in, as well as some malty grain character in the finish. But there’s no famous karaoke song about orange juice or grain that I’m aware of.
If you, like many of us, have been locked in your house and have fallen into the same old dull routine, let this beer be your escape.
