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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can at Flying Saucer, Houston, pre-Ace Frehley concert.
Pours a deceptively thin amber with an aroma of sweet candied strawberry and peachy grapefruit preserves. Tastes of sweet pine syrup, grapefruit; strawberry finish. Leaves a lingering film on the tongue. Wish I’d have known Gordon.

Can
Amber-copper color, small off-white head. Rye bread, a bit honeyish hoppy aroma. Bready, pale malty brew, slightly ryeish and hoppy flavor. Bready aftertaste. Nicely balanced.
