Oskar Blues Gordon

12 oz can poured into a snifter glass produced an amber colored beer with a 1 1/2 finger head. The smell consisted of pine, dark fruit and malt. At first I wasn’t sure what to think of this beer as it was a little to sweet for my taste. But as the beer warmed up it allowed the hops to come through. At 8.7 percent you can’t taste the alcohol. This is a pretty well balanced beer. I would try again if I could ever find it on tap.

Amber pour with off white head. Pine aroma with a good blend of hop and malt. Very Good

Very malty nose, deep amber color, taste is bitter and hoppy. In fairness, rating may be skewed as it was sampled after a dogfish head 120 minute

Pours an amber colour with a foamy head that disappears slowly. Aroma is citrus and fruit. Medium bodied mouthfeel. Taste is fruity with a bit of hops kick and a bit of honey. Pleasant aftertaste with a little bitterness.

Location: 12 oz can from State Line, 8/27/09

Aroma: Nose is hoppy, floral, wood, fruit, resin
Appearance: Hazy orange-amber, thin off-white head, spotty lacing
Flavor: Nice hoppy flavor, sweet caramel malts, pretty well balanced
Palate: Long finish, medium body, creamy mouthfeel
Overall Impression: This is a pretty tasty beer, definitely would make a great tailgate beer, you don’t often find beers this good and this drinkable in a can. Not quite as good as their Impy Stout, but so drinkable that I would choose this one right along with their Dale’s Pale as a top tailgate/camping can beer.

a very hoppy aroma with a pleasent aftertaste that reminds me of a good ipa. good drinkabilty with plenty of flavors from the front to the back of the palate. even drinkers who do not enjoy ipa’s would probally enjoy this beer. and its pretty good from being served right out of the can.

(can). Cloudy, reddish orange color. Medium off white head which is mostly diminishing. Strong hop aroma with moderate alcohol. Spicy hop flavor. Avg duration. Smooth, light bitter finish. Slick texture. Moderate carbonation. Spare lacing.

From the Can at the Oskar Blues Brewery, Longmont 08/10/2008 Very hoppy aroma. Golden coloured and hoppy with a little dryness in a crisp and bitter malt finish.
