Jun 3, 2008 Updated: Nov 27, 2008The Midwest answer to Arrogant Bastard!!! Highly hopped, full of maltiness and sweetness, yet refreshingly bitter. Pours copper with a tan head. Fluffy tan head. Pours opaque. Flowery hop notes mix with the caramel maltiness. I wish I picked up more than 1.
SECOND ANALYSIS: This is a perfect DIPA. If you get this fresh, expect a perfectly dank aroma to the hoppage in this one.

Jun 3, 2008 Hazy copper with a creamy head that sticks around. Flowery hoppy with a hint of citrus. There’s a bitterness at the end that evens out the flowery sweet hop taste. Very light on the tongue, with a clean finish. A definite must-have on tap. I’d buy it at the store way more often if it weren’t so pricey.

Jun 2, 2008 I love this beer!!!!! This is by far my favorite production from oskar blues. Wonderful hop taste and aroma without being overly flowerly. Nice balance of the malt as well.

May 31, 2008 Very excellent...this is my third OB beer after Dale’s Pale and Old Chub. Pours a dark reddish brown, a thick sticky head with decent staying power. Nose is a bit hoppy, but with a touch of earthiness. Taste is the same, with some full-bodied hops and a hint of blood orange. Solid but subtle malt backbone. Delicious.

May 28, 2008 Pours dark copper with a very small head, mildly sweet hop aroma. Strong and indicative of what’s to come. Aroma is a floral hop bouquet. Flavor is full, bitter, hoppy, and great. How outstading could this beer possibly be while kayak fishing the Texas marshlands. Inexplicable. A 4+ beer in a can. What a novel idea. Pay attention, Oskar Blues has a good idea. Full mouthfeel, more than full flavor, refreshing. clean, bitter finish.

May 26, 2008 can. this beer starts with a wonderful aroma of sweet malt and hop flower citrus. the taste has great mouthfeel and heavy malt and hop flavors, a little more on the bitter side. it has a lingering hop bitterness which asks for another sip.

May 25, 2008 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.

May 25, 2008 Can. Pours a dark clear amber with one finger beige head. Nose is caramel, citrus hops and roasted malts. Palate is sweet caramel malt background, with grapefruit citrus hop dominating with a bitter resin finish. Medium mouth feel with great lacing. Great brew. Love the cans and the hop profile that dominates everything I’ve had from this brewery.
