That looks like a perfect day for some afternoon, oat soda imbibing.

This afternoon, I'm drinking Bent Paddle's Bent Hop Nitro directly from their taproom.

Is that one just a straight IPA? A few months back, I had the Patriot, and it was a milkshake IPA that was below average, but I felt it would be better if it were just a normal, no frills IPA. They also make a Russian imperial stout that I sampled at a BJCP sponsored homebrew competition that...

There is definitely a slight light effect altering the color in that picture, but only to a minor degree. The color at the top of the glass is more accurate to the overall color of the beer.
