Oskar Blues Gordon

Fresh out of the can. Pours a hazy auburn with a short bubbly head. Sugary grapefruit and pine aroma. Robust hops in the taste. Lots of grapefruit and resin, with a fair amount of pineapple and mango flavors blended in. Caramel malt backbone with just a little biscuit. A truly righteous imperial red.

Taste 7/8 Can Looks: Cloudy tea, clinging cream foam. Aroma: Sweet malt and sour mix. Good floral. Taste: Great. Thick bodied with nice floral taste and a spicy finish.

Can from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours a mostly clear red with a big frothy off white head, tons of lacing. Big nose of citrus, pine and toasted malt. Flavor was a bit more malty than expected, palate was (like the can says) sticky!! A great brew.

12 ounce can purchased at Total Wine Pembroke Pines, FL for $4.39. Very good.

Hoppy and tasty. Good strength. Another fine brew from Oskar Blues. Sampled at the St. Pete Florida Craft Beer Fest.

Bottle courtesy of gford217: Poured a deep brown color ale with a nice foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of bitter and citrus hops are dominating. Taste is also dominated by those citrusy and bitter Qwest Coast hops with a nice caramel malt profile that is overshadowed by the hops. Full body with some good carbonation and no discernable alcohol behind all those hops. One-dimensional for sure but still very tasty and nonetheless a beer I wouldn’t mind having access on a regular basis.

A Mes rate: Bottle at the Tom’s awesome Twickenham Brewery tasting.
A gorgeous rich amber colour with a thin off white head. Massive cheesy and resinous hops with some lovely fruit. Bitter finish. A little over the top. Straight forward but not amazing.

Can@Home. Aroma of red grapefruit, orange and light grassy. Light hazy, amber color, beige head, good lace. Very sweet, very bitter, very fruity, obviously malty, grassy. Thick, syrupy, cloying, warming. Very nice balance.
