Dan needed a break from cleaning the Life On Tap Compound, so he reached for Bell’s Brewery Oatsmobile Ale, a session pale brewed with oats.

Bell’s Brewery Oatsmobile Ale

Bell’s year-round Session Pale Ale, brewed with the signature ingredient (Oats), “uses a blend of classic and modern Pacific Northwest hops, including Mosaic, Equinox and Glacier”.  Oatsmobile Ale is available in 6-packs and on draft, weighs in at 4.3% ABV and whopping 60 IBUs (high for a session beer).
Also, if you’re in NYC over Christmas and want to do a little drinking on Boxing Day (aka the 26th), join Dan and Dad On Tap and more of the crew for the Boxing Day Pub Crawl! Contact Dan for details.

Appearance

Orange/golden orange in color, with a frothy, beautiful head and soft lacing on the glass.

Aroma

Sweet, almost orange blossom honey-like note blended with the oats and reaminder of the grain bill.

Taste

While the mouthfeel really shines, there is a tremendous amount of malt flavor with the hops coming in towards the end and on the finish.

Mouthfeel

Really big body for a session ale, compelte with coating of the tongue. Luxurious for a sub-5% beer.

Overall

Oatsmobile Ale is a killer session pale ale, period. It is very food-friendly and could definitely be drank all day. I would say it’s a good way to get your oats in…or you could say make your oats mobile LOL. If Bell’s is in your market, definitely try one for a session beer off the beaten path.
Cheers and remember:
Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
