This is a great ipa. Super hoppy with a hint of citrus. Really refreshing and smells extremely hoppy. Pours a dark orange. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Can from 5000, thanks! Pours a soft copper color with a thin ring of creamy beige head. Hoppy aroma; mostly citrus and pine, but a little floral too. Tastes malty sweet at first before the herbal and floral hops come in. Lightly earthy, but retains a little of what I associate with wet hops. A good IPA, I wanted to like this more, but it just didn’t quite line up for me the way other hoppy OB beers do.

Can, from Birratrovo, Como, canned 12-03-13 (congratulations for the choice of format!)
Amber color, hazy, with medium sized creamy head. The aroma offers a good amount of hop fruitiness; there is some mango and some oranges, then mild apricot jam; finally, a light earthy note, manure, and biscuits. Good body structure, with round and smooth mouthfeel; it has a moderate residual sweetness, just a light presence of crystal, quite strong biscuity caramel flavor, and obviously a powerful bitterness, with plenty of fruits and some pleasant resins; the final is very long, vibrant and balanced.
Yes, yes; a very solid brew.

Awesome! Deviant Dales is an awesome double IPA. It pours a deep amber with a tall off- white head. Aroma of citrus and slightly herbal. Flavor is great. Mainly citrus with notes of herbal goodness and of course the hops jump at you. This is my new "goto". ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Appearance: Amber and blood orange under an off-white head which slowly fades into a thin layer pockmarked with bubbles of various sizes. Swirls with a thick collar and a few arcs of lace.
Nose: Massive hit of pine, citrus, evergreen, and juicy sticky hop resins. Take a handful of whole hop cones, squeeze, then proceed to shove your nose into them and inhale deeply their delicious freshness. Sticky. Hint of fresh mint leaf along the sides and in the back.
Palate: As big as the nose promised. Resins grab the top of my tongue and don’t let go, assaulting it with mouthwatering flavors of hop resins and sticky pine sap. Grapefruit and key lime oils in the back. Each quaff makes the sides of my cheeks tingle. Mint and evergreen mingle in my breath. Crunchy sticky caramelized melba underbelly. Rustic. Citrus rind and pith lingers long and generates a healthy thirst for more.
Final Thoughts: Pow! Is about what your tastebuds feel like with each and every quaff. A wonderful massive assault of the veritable hop and that’s a good thing. While not for the faint of heart, we all have a little deviant inside so why not embrace it along with a can of Deviant Dale’s from Oskar Blues. You’ll be back for more.

Clear, dark orange, beer with a yellow-beige, 3 fingers high foam. A lot of lacing on the glass. Hops! Citrus, orange marmelade, peach, pine, newly cut grass and grapefruit. Taste? - Sweet, orange marmelade, citrus, grape, vanilla, tropical fruit and herbs. Medium body with just right amount of carbonation. Oily taste. I’m just saying: GREAT!

Been wanting to try this out for quite some time. Pours a deep orange with a sudsy white head. Big time citrus aroma in the nose. This is a hop monster. A lot of grapefruit and earthiness in this one. Why have I waited so long to try this? Oskar Blues wins yet again...

Draft (!) at Costa Mesa Yardhouse. Golden amber. Grapefruit. Pine and grapefruit. Imagine a grapefruit tree, planted by itself in the rocky mountains and raised by pines. By nature, a host for bitter citrus, but by nurture, an everpresent coniferous force of nature. Then chop it down and turn it into a beer. That is what you have here. But no splinters. The body is too nice for splinters.

Thjis is THEEEE perfect beer for me. This is the first IPA that has a grapefruit taste on my palate. Wonderful citrus taste and malt.

Slightly hazy amber pour. Medium head. Lots of grapefruit and pine in aroma. Decent caramel malt backbone. Flavor mirrors aroma. ---Rated via iPhone
