Can. Pours a hazy copper color with a medium off white head. Aroma of hops, malt and citrus. Taste is hoppy with a light spice and malt flavor. Has a light bitter finish.

Pours a nice a medium dark, forming a nice sized off white foamy head. Aroma of citrus hoppage, pine resinal, field grass and water. Flavour full on tasty caramel, hop brine with a smoothness of clean refreshing beer. Excellent DIPA/American Strong Ale from Oscar Blues! Me want more...

That’s one bitter hop aroma. This is a pretty hoppy beer. Flavor is mostly bitter hops as well, but not too heavy in the finish. Doesn’t seem too strong. Certainly tasty.

I was pleasantly surprised when I tasted this beer. I was expecting hops, but was pleased with the balanced malt addition. This was a very drinkable beer for such high IBU.

Orange/amber pour, nice off white head arose. Citrus, pine aromas, faint sweet malt. Interesting for a pale, almost creamy mouthfeel. Nice bitter hop up front, but quickly mellows to some sweet malt and light red and citrus fruits. Little biscuity. Very clean, alcohol well hidden. I particularly liked it because it was not just a hop bomb. Pretty excellent version of the style.

Wow- interesting take on an Imperial IPA. Pours a deep copper with a creamy off-white head. Heavy on the aroma hops- floral with notes of light sugar, lemon, and slight citrus. Flavor is mellow malt with water, sugar, and a lingering floral sweetness in the finish. I really like this Double IPA.

12 oz. can. Pours a clear amber with a moderate off-white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left partial lace. Very pleasant aroma of citrus and pine, with more emphasis on the citrus. The flavor is again citrus and pine with more emphasis on the citrus, along with a bit of caramel. I especially like the hops contribution to the flavor without being prickly on the palate. The mouthfeel is somewhat resinous and fairly smooth. Very nice beer.

Can as shown. Pours a hazy copper amber color with a medium frothy off white head. The aroma is a piney hops and citrus. Good sticky lacing on the glass. The taste is light malt with pine hops. Hides the alcohol well, a great Double IPA from Oskar Blues.
