Oct 28, 2008 Can. Poured into a snifter, beautiful amber color, good head. Good aroma of pine and citrus hops. Taste is a well balanced DIPA. Nice sweet piney hop taste with malt in the aftertaste. The texture is creamy/smooth and very easy to drink. For sure it is one of the better DIPA out there.

Oct 26, 2008 Can. Pours foggy orange amber with a beige head. The aroma has grassy and floral hops with caramel malt. The flavor is well balanced with sweeter malt, floral hops, and some light fruity esters, followed by a nice bitter finish. Nice.

Oct 23, 2008 Really enjoyed Gordon. Lots of hops but what I liked was its malt character. Had lots of cramel and roasted flavors. Also has sort of a baked bread character. Very good.

Oct 19, 2008 Hoppy as hell. Darkish red color. Citrusy hint in the aroma. Very evergreen . Does not taste like it as 8.7 abv. Smooth and creamy. Very nice.

Oct 17, 2008 Can pours dark red-amber with thick and almost creamy beige head. Resinous, dank-hoppy mellows after a bit, heading toward pine needles and fruit punch. Intensely juicy hop aroma. Tastes like America! Sweet but only moderately bitter. Soft carbonation, somewhat thick and almost creamy mouthfeel. A bit sticky. Sweetish, tangy and hoppy aftertaste. More refreshing for its strength than it has any right to be.

Oct 17, 2008 Can. Pours clear amber, with a medium head, good lacing. Pine and grass dominate the nose, with a little bit of grapefruit. Fairly thin palate. Pine and citrus flavor, well balanced with light malt sweetness. Not as bitter as one would expect for an Imperial IPA.

Oct 12, 2008 Nice brew.... however reminiscent of their "Dale’s Pale Ale" offering. Pours slightly hazed, deep amber into the glass, with an initial eggshell head that leaves wonderful lace. Spot on for grapefruit and pine needle notes in the bouquet. Nicely dry-hopped (and bittered so) throughout the pull, the malts are a little underdone for an Impy IPA, but there comes a great caramel and citrusy grapefruit in the flavor, backed with a huge dry pine finish. Very crisp and clean, I still have to ponder how much this seems like an Impy "Dale’s PA".... but congratulate the brewer for being smart in the description, and I won’t fault the rating as such.

Oct 11, 2008 can: aroma of hops, some caramel and brown sugar. Nice taste, the smoothest beer I have had with a designation of double IPA in the description. The hops are not strong up front but appear after the initial taste with a pine and grassy hint. The initial taste is more malty. Does not taste like 85 IBUs. Very chugable like all Oskar Blues beer, and buzz inducing, the 8.7 abv is not remotely noticeable. Does Oskar Blues have any mediocre beers, or are they all the dankness?
