Jul 2, 2009 Deep copper color with a sticky, lacing head. Great aroma... lots of floral hops and earthy with good malty brown sugar smell. Flavor is about the same, but more malty than hop flavored (I prefer the hops). Very drinkable, maybe a tad too easy to drink with the high ABV.

Jun 30, 2009 Can. Dark amber pour with off-white head. Very nice aroma. Lots of sweet malt followed up with pine aromas on the nose. Well balanced, very sweet with a nice hop bit. More pine and some orange peel in the flavor. A bit thin on the mouthfeel. More sweetness/bitterness in the finish, along with a hint of heat.

Jun 29, 2009 Pours copper with an off white head. Smells of sage, pine, caramel, earthy. Tastes of bitter hops, resin, citrus, earthy finish. It is great to see an excellent IIPA in a can.

Jun 29, 2009 Can. Amber pour. Aroma suggest hop bomb, but flavor although hoppy is not a fiery as aroma would suggest. This is a great beer.

Jun 29, 2009 Can. Appearance: pours copper with a foamy off white head. Aroma: Sweet malts, brown sugar, and hops. Taste: Much of the same. Still sweet and hoppy flavors. Medium body with a nice bite.

Jun 27, 2009 I love Oskar Blues...this rating might be a bit prejudice: Pours a soft amber, with off-white head; Aromas of sweet malt (maple/caramel) and hops; Flavors of sticky sweet malt(’brown shugga’’ but better than Lagunitas Winter Seasonal by the Name+this one’s available all year), followed by a (not so)dry citrus hop bitterness. Very sweet for an ImperialIPA; Perfect medium body. Almost 9% c’mon!! Absolutely love it!

Jun 27, 2009 Dåse: Duft af karamel og amerikansk humle. Flot mørkeorange øl med et fint skumhoved. Smagen er klassisk amerikansk strong ale, da humlen er faded en smule. IIPA der har ligget lidt for længe. Fin øl men garanteret bedre frisk.

Jun 25, 2009 Poured from Can into Sniter glass.
Pours a clear medium amber that has some nice glowing edges and has a creamy slightly off-white head slowly dissolves into a nice thin layer around and atop the glass. The aroma has a sticky resinous hop bouquet that is accompanied by some brown sugar but still is dominated by the hops. The flavor is sweet candy up front with some sweet hops and brown sugar. The sweet bitterness lingers for sometime after each drink. Gordon is a light to medium bodied beer with light carbonation. The nose on this beer is fantastic and it leads you to believe that the flavor would have much of the same, which it doesn’t. A little let down by that but overall it is still a pretty good drink.
