When we decided to do a big lact-oat IPA, over-hopped with Lemondrop hops, were we greatly underestimating or overestimating our ability to fruit a pale without fruit? Can we know? Carton has long lived on the conceit that the art is in making things that evoke flavors without those ingredients, so here is the test to our metacognition. With just water, barley, oats, hops, yeast, lactose, and a little vanilla, have we made a distinctly lemony thing without lemons? Drink DUNNING-KRUGER and know nothing.
