The liquid wizards at Working Title are delivering another masterclass in texture with Thumbsucker, an Oat Cream IPA that is pure, unadulterated comfort in a glass. Known for their obsessive attention to grain architecture and hop science, the Newstead team has piled high the rolled, flaked, and malted oats to construct a super-cloudy, velvety base. A judicial addition of lactose rounds out the edges, providing a luxurious, creamy mouthfeel that acts as a plush pillow for an intensive double dry-hop schedule. Expect an absolute eruption of sweet mango nectar, vibrant passionfruit pulp, and bright citrus oils on the nose, translating into a thick, juice forward explosion on the palate. Despite its decadent body, Working Title masterfully dials in a gentle, balancing bite to ensure the finish remains clean, soft, and dangerously crushable. It’s a beautifully technical hazy that rules the sandbox.
