3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours clear amber with low white head. Aroma of caramel malt, honey, resin, tropical fruits. A bit subdued, maybe. Taste is a massive malty sweet balanced by a very controlled bitterness that grows in the finish. Body is medium, creamy-oily, with soft carbonation.

Pale gold color, white head, frothy. Grapefruit from aroma. Pine hop that lingers on the palate. Lighter body, not much balance a bit of alcohol.

Excellent beer. On tap at Taco Mac. Light copper, slightly cloudy. Others commented there was thick head and outstanding lacing; I had none I’d this. Aroma is outstanding - heavy citrus. Delicious, well balanced flavor. Lots of citrus, nice hoppy bitterness, but doesn’t make you pucker. Goes down smooth for 9.5%. Highly recommend.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
12oz can into a pint glass.
Pours a clear light copper with a rock solid one finger white head. The head retention on this is absolutely outstanding along with the lacing. It forms nearly a solid sheet all the way down the sides of the glass.
Aroma has a very earthy, rye, dank character that is quite different from many other IIPA’s that tend to focus on the citrus. The rye and earthy hops blend quite nicely and give a very inviting smell if not a little one dimensional.
The flavor continues the earthy characters with more rye and some musty and dank notes. Some pine and tree bark along with a slick mouthfeel that feels very rye-like. Bitterness is quite high and the finish is dry for a beer of this strength which I greatly appreciate. One think I cannot stand is a super sweet IIPA.
Overall, a very nice and quite different beer that is a great pleasure to drink. It tends to be a little one dimensional at times with the pine and earth but I quite like it. A little pricey but really worth every penny.

Here is the Gubna! Oskar Blues always has quality beverages. I like their imperial IPA they have here, but not as much as many of their "everyday" beers. Little one-dimensional on the spicy side. Yes, the malt is there for balance, but I was looking for something else beside spice and dry pine. Still, nicely crafted beverage that was nice to try.

3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Heavy citrus aroma and flavor. More malts than most IPA. Smooth caramel balances nicely with grapefruit bitterness. Hints of rye bread and toffee. A bit too much spice in the aftertaste for myself, but helps make it a complex and unique beer.
