kseecs16 (865), Naperville, Illinois, USA Jun 4, 2008 Can picked up at Woodman’s in Madison. Pours a honey golden with a big foamy off-white head that sticks around. Nice lacing. Sweet, potent hops aroma with floral hints. Flavor is grassy, floral and pleasantly sweet that becomes strongly bitter and finishes dry. Full bodied, creamy with a nice lingering bitterness. Excellent! wcampbell (572), Central, South Carolina, USA Jun 2, 2008 Pretty good, best beer I have ever had out of a can. Nice balance of hops and some malt. Lingering bitter finish. Piney hop taste typical of APAs. Doesn’t really stand out though, and not the smoothest or most drinkable beer. kpresley77 (133), Jackson, Georgia, USA Jun 1, 2008 Can courtesy of abcfan, pours hazy copper with little to no head. Aroma is pine, hops and citrus. First taste is sweet then hops bitter takes over. Strong mouthfeel with hops finish. Good can beer. fattibobatti (246), Tallahassee, Florida, USA May 31, 2008 can from momos pizza tallahassee, this is an amazing example of a well balanced and powerful APA. aroma of pine and citrus hops and sweet caramel malt. taste is very hoppy and sweet, pine hoppy flavor and and sweet malt balance. djd07 (724), Houston, Texas, USA May 30, 2008 Can. Pours a clear copper color with a medium frothy off white head. The aroma is very hoppy and pine. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a also a strong hop and light malt finish. Just like the description big brew in a little can. A great American Pale Ale from Oskar Blues. llcooldave (309), San Antonio, Texas, USA May 30, 2008 Absolutely a beautiful copper color. I wasn’t expecting this... I guess just cause it’s in a can I was expecting a watered down looking beer. Nice piney hops aroma. Flavor, as the aroma, is definitely intense at the beginning but really mellows as you drink it. It’s almost a roasty nutty bitterness. Simply awesome Guinness4Duff (507), Tallahassee (and Poconos, PA), Florida, USA May 29, 2008 Can. Pours a cloudy amber color with a thick off white head. Immediate caramel aroma fills the air after the can is cracked, some mild hops present as well. Flavor is bitter up front with a sweet caramel tasting middle and then finishing with a mild floral hop taste. Leaves a pleasant roasted aftertaste in my mouth. Pretty good overall. Taverner (827), San Ramon, California, USA May 29, 2008 Updated: Nov 28, 2008This is a damn good APA. Full of malty goodness. Full of hoppy goodness. What an APA should be. Very Midwestern in its worship of the malt. Very West Coast in its worship of the hop. Pours a slightly hazy copperish amber with very little head. This comes in a acan - I am amazed a good beer like this comes in a can. This is after a growler of Alpine Duet.
