Clear golden yellow brew with white foam.Smells of yeast and corn.Boy,if I ever had had a Bud this is what I imagin it would be like.

Diacetyl beer. Soft and off. no complexity underattenuated and off. and somewaht vegetative to boot.

i smelled the oats on this one as soon as i opend it.poured it into a pint and it revealed a honey colored body with a big lumpy head.the head soon evaporated a bit and began to level out.i was a bit surprised by the taste.not as much flavor or as i expected.then again,i guess the "pale oat" name should have told me that.anyway,not bad but not great.

Are we eating oatmeal? This brew is great. It has so much character, even with the high alcohol content. This, like most other lagunitas brews is inspiring.

Thanks to my future sister-in-law for getting me a bomber of this. Shared with a few friends. Had a triple like taste to it. Poured a cloudy yellow.

Nice smooth, oat/wheat aroma. 1/2 inch white head that is lasting. Pours a light gold color. Very slight alcohol that is noticable, really somewhat normal. Little hop bite, nice balance.

A nice beer to drink, nice color, not too bitter, but enough! Very refreshing! Very floral, I enjoy this beer, will have it again.
