Oskar Blues Deviant Dale's India Pale Ale
Deviant Dale's Indi Pale Ale. Sippin' on a tallboy. Brewed and canned by Oskar Blues, Colorado, USA. "Let's sling a little mud, girl." (Come again?)
Light haze. Amber hue. Lacey off-white head.
Nice hoppy nose. Citrus meets tropical. Happy marriage of lemon and mango.
Taste: Hop-tastic. Medium bodied. Light touch of caramel malt. Just a little juicy, high ease of consumption. Expert balance.
Not a ton to say about this one. Does the trick, but doesn't go much further. A lot of mild hoppy buzz, riding over the malt. Just a good ol' easy drunkin' IPA. You've got to have those. Session IPAs are highly under-rated.
This one I'll pass on in the future, though. Just not distinctive enough, merely an average IPA.
