MetalNHopHead	3.4 Okoboji Early Riser Coffee Porter Early Riser was great for boner jokes the relatively thin body held it back from sticking around in my mind. (Sticking up in my mind? Now I’m trying to hard to make boner jokes.) It’s too bad, too. Early Riser has a solid fresh-roasted coffee flavor but I love when a coffee-infused beer has a brighter roasted note. Well, I can’t think of more boner jokes, so I’ll just end the review here. Wednesday, September 9, 2015
rennat42	2.9 Okoboji Boji Beach Golden Rye Ale Draft/Fest. A- Rye, wheat, corn. A- Golden color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Rye, spice, wheat, corn, pepper, slightly sweet. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, spicy finish. O- This rye in here is certainly noticeable and it’s welcoming. Makes it something other than an average blond. I like my blondes with a little spiciness. Thursday, August 27, 2015

P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, roasty finish. O- This would be a fine breakfast beer. Tons and tons and tons of coffee on the nose and the palate as well. Maybe could benefit from a bit more vanilla, otherwise a great beer. Thursday, August 27, 2015
rennat42	3.6 Okoboji Shot in the Dark Vanilla Cream Stout Draft/Fest. A- Vanilla, coffee, mocha, roasty, chocolate. A- Black color, black liquid, tan head.

Nice amounts of coffee and vanilla make it balanced. Thursday, August 27, 2015

fidelis83	3.4 Okoboji The Hole in Hadrian's Wall Hazy amber pour with a fluffy, 3 finger beige head that has great retention. Aroma is full of potpourri floral and berry notes, caramel apple, a little spice and some odd tart notes. Flavor is full of under ripe fruit and floral notes up front, lactic tartness, toffee, caramel covered sour apple, weird floral, berry and pine shoot notes. Light to medium body with a pretty strong, blanketing and sharp carbonation and a chewy entry immediately leading to a dry, chalky feel. Interesting stuff, but I am pretty sure it has a bit of an (unintentional) infection, and/or they are going in a REALLY weird direction for a Scotch Ale. It’s actually pretty interesting and I was really surprised to find it was listed at 9.5%ABV, pretty good overall, despite the likely infection and not really fitting it’s listed style. Though those are often fun attributes. Wednesday, July 10, 2013
boozedude	2.7 Okoboji Boji Blue Pale Ale can into glass at iowa craft beer festival with chad.. hazy gold pour , metallic hopps, pretty boring, but not offensive Sunday, June 23, 2013

mnmike	2.7 Okoboji Boji Blue Pale Ale On tap at the brew pub in Okoboji. Pretty average APA - my opinion is that the hops aren’t as present as advertised. Sunday, June 16, 2013
mnmike	2.9 Okoboji 33 Select Brown Ale On tap at the brew pub in Okoboji. Cinnamon on the palate and nose - I’d like this better in the winter rather than the summer... Sunday, June 16, 2013
mnmike	3.3 Okoboji The Hole in Hadrian's Wall On tap at the brew pub in Okoboji. Uniqueness point here is the the bubbly carbonation - decent brew. Sunday, June 16, 2013

fidelis83	1.7 Okoboji Boji Blue Pale Ale Near gusher from a pint can cracking the can immediately results in tart berries, cardboard oxidization and lots of band aid. Cloudy, dirty copper pour with a huge, chunky, beige head. Aroma of, cardboard oxidization, caramel, citrus, lots of berry and tree fruit, earthy funk, butterscotch and band aid. Flavor is tons of oxidization, green wood, earthy funk, metal, tart berry and stone fruit, light citrus, light pine, grass and lots of plastic-laden band aid. Light, dry body with a very strong, blanketing and somewhat sharp carbonation. Lots of off flavors here, definitely seems like some sort of infection, especially with the insanely explosive pour that still manages to leave a huge carbonation and off style funk and acidity. Not very good, obviously, but interesting. Wednesday, June 12, 2013
jtclockwork	2.7 Okoboji 33 Select Brown Ale Can from John. Pours dark brown with brown head. Nose and taste of cheap maple, ass, cinnamon, vanilla and raisin. Medium body. Sweet. Friday, June 7, 2013

SrSilliGose	2.2 Okoboji The Hole in Hadrian's Wall can from godofthegarbage. aroma of weird play dough, herbal old fruits, peculiar medicinal, almost paintlike caramel. some kind of goofball smell i can’t put my finger on. light strawberry tartness to the taste. touch of grainy bitterness on the finish. quite the strange brew. not so sure i know what the diglett is going on with this one. some odd flavors that were not my cup of tea. curious what billicus would think of this bad boy.

Mildly hoppy nose with some grainy mild sweetness.LIght spiceyness from the rye.A bit of sulfer also.Slight woody dry earthyness.

Ok for a warmweather beer and for a golden ale but has some offness. Saturday, April 13, 2013

MacBoost	1.5 Okoboji The Hole in Hadrian's Wall Cloudy light brown diareeah pour. Aromas of sharp baby shit, unchanged diapers. Taste is bitter and sweet, like the McDonald’s sweet and sour sauce for the mcnuggets. Actually, I get some mcnugget in here. Fuck. I just don’t dig this beer at all. Too much sour for a scotch ale. Possible infection? Monday, April 1, 2013
jmohno	3.1 Okoboji The Hole in Hadrian's Wall Hazy organish brown,heady,carbonated.lacey. Aroma is belgiany with Strong tart spicey tartness citrus. Taste has lots of spicey tart tangy citrus,maybe overcarbonated bite with a subltle carmel/malt underneath an overattenuated beer making it a bit dryer and less malty/sweet than I would expect in a scottish ale. Tart with lots of tangy bite with carbonation. Strong Woody oaky sour/tart dominate beer. Otherwise its not a bad beer.Lacks the malt backbone I was expecting. Sunday, March 31, 2013

igneous1	2.3 Okoboji 33 Select Brown Ale hazy, mahogany brown color, thin beige head. bit of alcohol in the nose. do not detect maple, cinnamon or the vanilla in the aroma. just a bit of nuttiness. flavor is nutty, with very mild hints of cinnamon, but mostly the maple syrup shines through in the finish. not impressed.
