3.64/5 rDev -6.2%
look: 3.25 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Canned - 12/04/12
A - Light amber, almost orange. Solid head that fades, but leaves lacing.
S - Hop forward, some light malt. Big grapefruit and citrus come through. Nice.
T - Sweet and hoppy. Balanced sweet malts, this is a tasty beer. Very hop forward for a PA, could almost be an IPA in some circles.
M - Mild carbonation, this beer is smooth and very drinkable.
O - This one is always in the fridge. Very drinkable and refreshing, and strong enough to get the job done. Nicely done Oskar Blues.

This beer pours a rusty orange color and leaves a frothy head with holes throughout the froth. The smell of this ale is piney and citrus with some sweet fruit candy in the background of this nectar. The taste of this ale is so smooth it hits you with a very light carbonation followed by a sweet honey comb flavor finished with a bitterness that leave you wanting a little more. The overall flavor is a bit bland on the finish but this is still a quallity brew.

Pours a slighty cloudy orange color with a thick head that sticks to the sides of the glass. The smell was hoppy, pine, citrus orange. The citrus peel bitterness hits right up front with pine flavors and a slight caramel. The bitterness lingers quite a while. It has a strong flavor and I wouldn't be able to have more than one or two. I like the design on the can.

On tap, nice orange color with a smallish white head.
Some citrus hop and a bit of malt in the aroma.
Hops are the first thing you notice in the flavor with a bit of bready malt to balance things out.
Smooth mouthfeel, one of the best things about the beer.
A decent session beer, but nothing to write home about. I could have had a couple of these without any trouble.
Not a bad beer, but there are better pale ales out there. Of the Oskar Blues beers I've tried, this is my least favorite.

Look: Amber with a white head. A really nice looking beer.
Smell: Didn't get a lot here. Mostly malt with some pine from the hops.
Taste: Like the smell, a little more on the malty side. Pine and citrus come through as well, but is dominated by the caramel/bready malt.
Feel: Medium bodied (more than expected) and little alcohol taste.
Overall: A good, not great, APA for me. A little too on the malty side and wish it had a little more balance.

It poured a clear golden orange with a good amount of bubbles and a head which dissipated fairly quickly.
Nose was malty, apricot, and herbaceous (perhaps a bit of rosemary).
Mouthfeel was light, slightly creamy, with a full taste that filled the whole mouth for a few seconds, cycling through the same flavors as the nose and ending with a long, bitter finish.
I wish it did not go flat in the glass as quickly as it did since it has a complex enough taste to linger over.
Ultimately I liked this beer and would consider getting it again when looking for a pale ale.
