Not my favorite oskar blues but still damn good. Pours a dark golden, amber color with an off white head that leaves good lace. The aroma and flavor are almost identical. Super hoppy with a gigantic malt bill. The beer has a super full body and leaves a lingering bitterness and sweetness

Serving type: can

Having on draft at the Union Brewhouse.

Appearance: This beer poured a small head that reduced to a thin layer. It is a copper color with great clarity and bubbles coming up through the glass. Nice lacing on the glass as the beer was drank.

Smell: Caramel and bready malts with some citrus hops and grapefruit in there.

Taste: Same as above. Very tasty and balanced.

Mouthfeel: Smooth, balanced, drinkable, medium carbonation, and medium bodied.

Overall: Delicious beer that I will enjoy more of in the future.

Serving type: on-tap

A: Pours a semi-translucent red/orange. There is a half finger of slightly off-white head. The foam settles quickly, leaving spotty lacing on the glass and a thin ring along the edges of the beer.

S: The nose is sweet malt, caramel, strawberry fruit roll ups, and a touch of spice. I get the fruit roll-up flavor a lot in beers and I don't know how to describe it. It's not too boozy. Good balance in this beer.

T: The flavors in this beer seem to follow the nose pretty close. I get sweet malt, a good bit of spice, and a touch of that berry note. It's not huge berry, but I just can't explain how it tastes. It reminds me of a goji berry? I don't even know anymore. The finish is a mix of sweet, spice, and mild alcohol. Solid.

M: Medium bodied beer. The flavors are bold and envelop the palate wholly. It's solid. The alcohol is known at the end of the beer, but it doesn't dominate from the start.

O: Good beer. I'd drink this again in a heartbeat. I've probably overlooked this beer 1000 times in the past, so I'm glad I took the time to try it.
