American Pale Ale
Rating: B+
Poured from can to pint glass.
Very amber in color. The foamy, off-white head was comprised of medium-large bubbles; good retention and nice lacing. The aroma is very hoppy and floral with a bit of plum. The taste is hoppy, malty and resiny with a tad of citrus and caramel. The beer is fairly balanced, but might be a little on the hoppy side. Medium body with medium carbonation. The finish is bitter but satisfying. The beer seems to almost border on an American Amber. The packaging was deceiving. I would encourage Oskar Blues to hire a marketing company.
Our beer reviews are going to be in stark contrast, my friend. If you ever read Big Brother Magazine, liken it to Dave Carney’s product reviews.
