Nov 1, 2009 This beer is a high octane ode to the hops flower. It pours as a red thick liquid smelling strongly of hops and pine. Given this the flavor is surprisingly crisp and mellow though possessing of a very strong palate. The hops flavor is strong, though not overstated as can so often happen with American Cascade hops. The finish is hoppy and cleaner than could reasonably be expected. Of those Oskar Blues beers I have sampled thus far this is far and away my favorite.

Oct 28, 2009 12oz can pours a reddish amber with a clingy white head. Aroma and flavor are both a complex of fruity sweetness, tartness, and piney richness.
Medium body, crisp biting finish. Very VERY nice for a canned beer!

Oct 24, 2009 Can purchased at Liquor Mart in Boulder. Pours a nearly clear auburn with two fingers of creamy beige head and sticky lace. The nose is of sweet citrus and mango hop notes over a sweet amber ale-like malt note. On the light side of medium-bodied and slightly "grainy" with a big, bitter, lingering finish. The flavor follows the nose. It’s essentially a big, fruity and resinous hopped amber ale. This is a nice beer. I wish we could get it here in KC.

Oct 24, 2009 12oz can bonused by alagnak. Stamped with a canned 9-08-09. Pours a orangish caramel clear brown with a small but sticky head that leaves touches of lacing. Juicy bready nose with resiny orange hop and pine. Nice balance of malt with the sweet citrus hop flavors with just a bit of bitterness. I have had cans and had it on draft before, but this has to be the freshest one I have ever had and I must say it is much more enjoyable. The 8.7% is well hidden for sure.

Oct 23, 2009 This is just good. I would bathe in this beer, and drink it afterwards...though, I would have to admit, that pre-bath would be the best way to enjoy this masterpiece. Citris, pine, malt, hops. This beer has everything I want in a beer...Except maybe for the fact that it costs at about 10 bucks a 4 pack... it’s still a must buy. I love this beer so much, that the next time I buy a 4 pk, I’m going to drink three of them, and take the 4th to the back seat of my jeep and get it pregnant.

Oct 22, 2009 12oz can. Light golden color with a nice thick white head. A light amount of lace left on the glass. The aroma is floral and piney with hops. Taste has alot of alcohol, some hops and not much malt.

Oct 21, 2009 tap at the Lyons brewpub - Pours deep copper with a very long lasting head and a great big citrus hop aroma. It tastes of huge hops with huge citrus flavors and yes, some big malt to support it. The smells and flavors of this beer definitely loom large and it works great.
