Nov 10, 2009 this is so good- like a thick dark blood orange smell and flavor, very malty and very hoppy. great balance between bitterness and thick malty body. slides down the throat dangerously easy. On tap at Abraxas Lounge, Miami Beach.

Nov 9, 2009 Orange/amber pour with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is full of caramel, pine, and peach. The flavor is caramel, toffee, and sweet fruit like peaches and apricots. Very thick and smooth due to low carbonation. It has a piney finish. Good, but not a very memorable IIPA,.

Nov 1, 2009 This beer is a high octane ode to the hops flower. It pours as a red thick liquid smelling strongly of hops and pine. Given this the flavor is surprisingly crisp and mellow though possessing of a very strong palate. The hops flavor is strong, though not overstated as can so often happen with American Cascade hops. The finish is hoppy and cleaner than could reasonably be expected. Of those Oskar Blues beers I have sampled thus far this is far and away my favorite.

Oct 28, 2009 12oz can pours a reddish amber with a clingy white head. Aroma and flavor are both a complex of fruity sweetness, tartness, and piney richness.
Medium body, crisp biting finish. Very VERY nice for a canned beer!

Oct 24, 2009 Can purchased at Liquor Mart in Boulder. Pours a nearly clear auburn with two fingers of creamy beige head and sticky lace. The nose is of sweet citrus and mango hop notes over a sweet amber ale-like malt note. On the light side of medium-bodied and slightly "grainy" with a big, bitter, lingering finish. The flavor follows the nose. It’s essentially a big, fruity and resinous hopped amber ale. This is a nice beer. I wish we could get it here in KC.
