Tallgrass Brewery Oasis:
Greetings fellow beer adventurers and curiosity seekers and welcome to another beer review from your local can do reporter (or reviewer, whatever you prefer).  Today we venture back to the heartland of America for a look at Tallgrass Brewing’s Oasis and yes Virgina, it does come in a tall boy.  This beer is a super ESB or, as Tallgrass calls it, “a Double ESB/IPAish beer” that shows off the greatness of what both types of beer have to offer and also creates some new tastes as well.  The beer pours a malty brown with a khaki head that reminds me of the head on a root beer float and leaves a nearly complete lacing in glass and a nose of citrus hops and bready malts.  The beers initial taste is like that of a creamy malt English beer that dissolves into a mid tongue of an overly hopped west coast IPA flavor (that’s a more mellow IPA for those uninformed readers) that tones itself down to leave a sweet hop cake taste on the back end and, to top it all off, a taste akin to an entry level IPA.  So another great beer from the boys at Tallgrass and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to have a favorite from them but then again is it bad to like everything a brewery puts out?  Probably not but with only a few beers left in the line up this is looking like a brewery that has the rare batting average of 1.000.  Drink up and enjoy.
