"So far my favorite beer from Oskars. Gordon poured a deep orange- reddish body with a thin head. Aroma of pine, lots of citrus and hints of malts. Flavor is similar to the aroma with hints of caramel showing up. There isnt much in the way of a hop bite or an overwhelming hop presence, actually it is a little understated but it is still a good beer thats worth a try."

"Pours a clear copper colour with a small white head. Aroma is nice and hoppy- floral, grapefruit notes are prevalent. Taste is astringent, citrusy and well hopped. Another awesome brew from OB, probably my favorite thus far."

[3] Review by changeup45 from Orlando, Florida, USA who has tried this beer once. (8/9/2008 10:28:32 PM)
"I can’t remember the last time I had a beer out of the can but I think it’s safe to say it wasn’t as good as this one. Pours a murky orange color with a thin off-white head. Aroma is strong citrus and pine with some malt following. Piney and citrus hop flavors, light bitterness, and a nice caramel malty backbone. Not hoppy enough to be an Imperial IPA so this definitely seems more like some sort of American Strong Ale. Good beer. "

[4] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (7/21/2008 1:19:02 PM)
"Bottle courtesy of gford217: Poured a deep brown color ale with a nice foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of bitter and citrus hops are dominating. Taste is also dominated by those citrusy and bitter Qwest Coast hops with a nice caramel malt profile that is overshadowed by the hops. Full body with some good carbonation and no discernable alcohol behind all those hops. One-dimensional for sure but still very tasty and nonetheless a beer I wouldn’t mind having access on a regular basis."
