Different Stiles Blood Orange Triple Throwback
Oskar Blues Grill & Brew

 

 

 

14 Ju1 15
On-Tap 10oz. (The Ale House)

Pours a cloudy brownish color, nice one-finger creamy tan head, nice carbonation. Leaves some nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is malty, slightly yeast, slight hop note, and peaches. The taste is malty, yeasty, slight hop note, nice touch of peaches. Medium body, ABV is hidden very well. Overall a pretty tasty brew, never had an DIPA quite like this one.

Muddy orange color and quite cloudy. No foam but a touch of sticky lace on the glass. Smells like blood orange and orange rind, as it warms you get a distinct layer of malt. Taste follows with a sticky and syrupy, lingering finish of orange and passion fruit. Complex and enjoyable. Probably doesn't pair well with the average meal and you probably want to enjoy it before it warms too much.

 

Draft from upstairs at the Boise Whole Foods... Pours very hazy/muddy orange... Off white head with no real lacing and retention (looks thick). Plenty of orange zest and juicy notes in the aroma.. Tastes sorta like Tang with EtOH.. Doesn't hold anything that resembles Triples or DIPAs... passion-fruit and mango notes are surprisingly heavy.. Thick in the glass and on the palate.. Nothing jumps out and makes this a "good beer".. It seems to me like a lost keg that ended up at a "thankful" account.... A decent "fruit juice delivery device"... But a bad beer.

Never want this one again.

another most excellent beer from these guys that never sees the canning line. seems like their best stuff never does. this is really intensely fruited beer, with all kinds of blood orange flavor and texture to it, definitely listed incorrectly as a tripel, i think it was their attempt to be cute by calling it a triple session ipa, its an ipa for sure, and a big one at that. has a blood orangey color to it for sure, and the flavor is way more fruity than hoppy, although i think the intersection is nice. there either is passion fruit in this, or the hops combined with the blood orange make it seem that way, i get that almost puckery tropical thing in here, really tastes great. thick and almost pulpy in texture, its big and bold, and the booze is pretty hot, but i somehow find this summery and refreshing for being so huge. the fruit is very punchy and up front, while the ipa part hangs back. it never gets bitter either. weird beer, not sure i would drink a ton of these, but to get this much flavor into a beer is amazing. absolutely worth seeking out while its around, im sure it wont last.

 

 

This is weird as hell. I described it to someone as Sunny Delight with alcohol. That's not quite accurate but, if you have the beer, I think you'll see what I mean. Quite unique.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like a beer mimosa (in a very good way). Breakfast beer for sure!

Very fruity and hoppy. It comes off a bit too tart, I would rather more sweet notes
