Ocelot Outta My Head

A collaboration with DC’s hard-charging Bad Moves, Outta My Head was designed to mirror the band’s distinctive power pop. It’s a power hop IPA, if you will. The body is luxe and polished, rendered silky smooth with copious additions of malted oats and flaked wheat. The hop character is bright, bold, and immediately engaging. But lest you think we’re descending into cloying sweetness, this IPA is balanced with a refreshing dryness and ever-so-slightly prickly bitterness. And just as Bad Moves can pack an album’s worth of hooks into less than four minutes, Outta My Head lands at a tight 6.3%.
 
It's a harmonious ale. Bad Moves’ songs are defined in no small part by their communal vocals – Emma Cleveland, David Combs, Katie Park, and Daoud Tyler-Ameen all singing together or weaving in and out of the mix, creating something bigger than the sum of its parts. In that spirit, Outta My Head harnesses the chops of four hops: Nelson Sauvin, Simcoe, Amarillo, and Vista. Each New Zealand or Pacific Northwest varietal could carry an IPA on its own, but in unison they belt a soaring, seamless tune of white grape, melon, passion fruit, and orange citrus.
