Oskar Blues Can-O-Bliss Resinous IPA

Oskar Blues Can-O-Bliss Resinous IPA.


7.2 % ABV. Oskar Blues Brewing, Longmont, CO. 

Lightly hazed, bright golden color, slim white head. 

In the nose: Whoa! That's some dank stuff, there. Grapefruit, pine forest floor, and a freshly dusted bowl. This one's one fire. 

In the mouth: Bold, fresh, and juicy. Moderate bitterness, smooth malt flavors, exceptional drinkability, and heavy on the resin. Grapefruit, orange peel, pine, and a touch of tropical, with a long, bitter finish. A little bit sticky icky. Maybe a lot. And I like it. 

An extra special spin on a Can O’Bliss hop profile – Resinous features a bit of the old and the new. Old school Pine and Grapefruit with new school amplitude of hop aroma and flavor. The hop bill features an experimental variety HBC 692 alongside an unlikely trio of Meridien, Saphir, and Bravo.
