kpresley77 (15), Jackson, Georgia, USA May 9, 2008 On tap at Pub. Nice amber color with white head. Strong hops aroma. First taste malt then hops take over with long finish. wheninhell (476), louisville, Kentucky, USA May 8, 2008 dark amber with a nice slow forming tight white head. ok lacing. solid balanced pine caramel aroma. bittersweet balanced piney caramel. bitter pine caramel finish. full body. moderate to lively carbonation. good solid straight forward IIPA. Hoptagon (38), Arlington, Virginia, USA May 7, 2008 12 oz. Can. Pours a coppery red with a decent sized head and persistent lacing. Aroma is surprisingly strong with lots of pine. The mouthfeel of this beer is pretty solid with an impressive amount of what I guess is 2 row to hold up to the strong hop dosage. The beer also has an undeniably resinous and sticky palate as well. Flavor has some recognizable citrus notes with tastes of orange and grapefruit. Also shows some sweetness from the malt and a subtle bread flavor. The finish is long and somewhat bitter with a touch of alcohol. Personally I think this beer is a bit closer to being an Imperial Red than a 2IPA, but either way, its pretty good. PecoKid (2), USA does not count May 5, 2008 Big beer. nice long lasting head. Huge flavor. The can puts off some people. The_Captain (149), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA May 5, 2008 Aroma a little like ginger root and hops. Small off white head that simmered away with good carbonation. Some citrus notes with a malt mix. Good body and balance with some hop bitterness. Oskar makes some good cheap ass looking beer.
