Gubna was bred from Oskar Blues Brewery’s hankering to confront 100+ IBUs by cranking up the complexity of hops by pouring Cascade on top of copious amounts of Summit, then balancing that with a backbone of German Dark Munich Malt and Rye Malt. GUBNA’s post-fermentation dry-hopping with both hops allows this monstrosity to gently coax the citrus rind and grapefruit aroma while providing a rye malt-induced, spicy-yet-round middle, and a brisk, clean bitter finish (10 percent ABV, 100+ IBUs).

When you first pour a Gubna you will immediately notice the intense cascade aroma. Being from upstate NY I am a big fan of cascade aroma and flavor. It had a nice crisp clear golden amber color in the glass. I poured it in a Ommegang goblet style glass. This really released the aroma.

This beer has great hop flavor at the expense of drinkability. At 10% ABV their is a reason they come in 4 packs. This was a good beer to try and have one of... but now that I have I dont think I will again. I really like Oskar Blues beers, and this is definitely one to try, but its a bit too intense to be drinkable.

I tried Gubna on two separate occasions, purchased from two different locations. The first time it was carbed ok. The second time it went flat quickly and has a bit of a alcohol aftertaste after warming up in my glass a bit.

Amber color with a decent head and lace.
Aroma of floral hops, malts, stinky hops and hints of fruit.
Taste was sweet, mild bitterness, malts and an odd taste I could not really describe to you.
Medium body and carbonation.

355 ml can, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 10.0%. Orange colour, moderate off-white head. Lovely aroma of piney hops, smells like a pine forest, also some fruity notes (oranges). The flavour is a massive attack of fruity and piney American hops, fairly light bodied and dry for its strength.

Wonderful aroma, thick clumpy lacing. Taste is oranges and other citrus, a hint of cough syrup sweetness, with a smidge of alcohol warmth. Be careful, this one will sneak up on you.
