Oskar Blues Deviant Dale's India Pale Ale
This beer is intended to be a sensory assault for hop lovers. At 8.0% ABV, four hop additions during the brew process, and a final wallop of excessive Columbus dry-hopping, this beer is meant to say one thing: MORE HOPS! Perfect for these cool winter nights, The Deviant is a returning favorite from the little brewery in Lyons, Colorado that started the Canned Revolution!

Looks fantastic.Lovely creamy head. Darkish for a dipa. Great copper colour.
Wow. Beautiful full flavoured dipa from the first sip. Intense malt and hop flavour.The malt and hops are beautifully balanced. Bags of flavour.
Lightly carbonated lovely mouthfeel not thin not viscous just perfect.
I love this. Fantastic dipa. I cant really fault it. For a dipa the malt is the predominant flavour but its still hoppy. A great beer
Amber with a fluffy head, plenty of lacing, and a caramel, light whiskey, malty nose. Very smooth, lightly-carbonated mouthfeel with a caramel finish and some warming.

@ Empourium, Sundbyberg. Ambebr body with a medium white head. Citrus, pine, tropical fruit and a dash of caramel. Well made.
Draft at source. NC. Light malt aroma. Kind of toasty. Strong pine hop flavor and moderate bitterness. Okay. Kind of malt bomb
12oz can. Slight haze orange amber color with a white head. Tropical fruit and hops aroma. Sweet malt grapefruit resin flavour with a bitter hops finish. Medium body.
Can. Cloudy amber color, off-white head. Sweet, juicy malt aroma. Full, complex flavor with aromatic hops and resiny malts. Full body, medium carbonation. Very nice!
On can from Vinmonopolet in Norway, on order. Mahogny colored clear with good foam. Medium high aroma intensity; hops, some caramel, malt, fruitiness with some vanilla in the finish. Medium full body & complexity . Some sweetness, good balancing bitterness . Very enjoyable
Can & draft. Pours amber, white head. Aroma is citrus fruits, pine, sweet malt, dank resin. Flavor is gooey citrus fruits, grapefruit, dank pine, light caramel & alcohol.
Pours a vibrant orange-amber, thick foamy head, ivory...Beautiful! Rich nose, resin, caramel, apple. Decently balanced, a tad more on the malty side than expected but it still married nicely with pine and citrus, caramel, nondescript vegetable, some zest... Solid.
Can pour into nonic pint glass from Greg & Jane’s Beer and Wine. Appearance is clear amber with slightly reddish quality, negligible sparkle, 1.5-finger width foamy off-white head with good retention and spotty lacing. Aroma is citrus, fruit, earth and resinous hops over malty backbone. Taste is dominant sweet fruit balanced with bitter resin and earth, with late hints of caramel and nuts. Palate is medium bodied with thick, creamy texture, lively carbonation and sweet over bitter finish. Almost a numbing of the lips. Overall, surprised any vestige of malts made it through based on the description but gave it a nice dimension.
I just got this over the border with no customs fees, but a day away from home, I still wanted a drink. Using a plastic cup sucks, but this beer doesn’t. Grapefruit and orange burst through as the prime aromatics. The taste is a hoppy wheat, grapefruit, orange, and malt mixture. Pretty amazing that it breaks right through my cold and still lays on the taste.
Great color and head, not much hop but nice carbonation and drinkability. Taste enjoyed by wife and non-hop heads. Smooth in the mouth and a fresh finish.
Not so much a bigger, better Dale’s as a more bloated one, Deviant starts with a massive smack of sweet caramel malt and...that’s it. Hops give off a modest pine slant, and the beer grows a minor IBU pop on the finish, but really it seems mostly bland, East Coast as hell and underwhelming.
faint piney hop aroma. dark amber in color with huge head. taste is quite hop forward. notes of pine and resin, faint underlying malt note.
12oz can with a canning date of 12/22/2016
Very nice beer - nothing over whelming awesome about it - but it is a solid beer.
Off white frothy head stayed well on an auburn coloured, still body.
Bitter aroma of rye, hops & dry citrus.
Medium bodied, smooth on the palate. Feels soft on the tongue.
Bitter/Sweet flavours of citrus, malt, grapefruit, pine, hops, pith, caramel & malt.
Draft at J’s. Light copper with a finger of foam that lingers. Honey, bready malt and candied orange aromas dominate. Sweet on the palate, well-balanced though. Good malt character, more honey and citrus notes, grapefruit. Soft bitterness and light pine. Sweet on the finish with some mild bitterness.
Poured from the can into a nonic pub glass, a medium orange amber colour, some chill haze, fluffy off-white foam. Simple maltbill supporting typical over-the-top American hop notes: grapefruit, pine cones, dank dank dank weed. Medium body, strong carbonation, lingering bitter aftertaste. Predictable, but tasty as so many other high-gravity A-IPAs.
On draft at the source. Puts clear amber color with a small white head that quickly dissipates. Grapefruit rind, pine, angostura bitters. Columbus hops. Medium mouthfeel, average carbonation. Long strong bitter finish.
Looks a bit English, actually, with a body somewhere between amber and copper, and some streaky white head that quickly faded. Nothing English about the aroma - a huge hit of pine, grapefruit and malt. Medium body, nicely carbonated. Plenty of chewy toffee in the mouth, lots of grapefruit plus a touch of orange, and a long bitter finish.
Bottle shared by Dan n thanks. Tiny white head. Cloudy golden color. Big piny hop aroma. Big hop taste and bitterness. Fine malty finish.
Can from Appellation Wines Comely Bank.
Appearance - deep amber to red with a nice fluffy head.
Nose - pine, resin and grapefruit.
Taste - earthy, spicy, orange, grapefruit and dry lime and biscuit on the finish.
Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a long dry and beautifully tapered finish.
Overall - big hops but perfectly balanced too.
Can from appellation wines comely bank. Pours clear Amber. Thick off-white head. Aromas of mango, toffee apples, earthy, blood orange. Taste is green, hoppy, grapefruit, spices. Full bodied on the palate with a rich, bitter finish.
Van from Brewdog. Pours clear dark amber with a big creamy off-white head. Aroma is rich, both malty and in the hop division, caramel and resiny. Taste is well balanced, with a bold resiny hop addition, which stands out well towards the malty body, lingering resiny hops. High carbonated, very good powerful IPA.

Alcohol notes. Taste: full body with good malt structure balanced with toffee and caramel resin hops. Good grassy balance. Nice toffee finish. Alcohol notes. Good attenuation. Aftertaste: caramel astringent resin hops and dry bitterness. Alcohol notes. Very nice beer. I like it.
Pours a clear dark copper with white head. A strong fruit malt, pine and citrus hop aroma. A heavy beer with flavors of citrus and floral hops, caramel, fruit malts, and some pine. A lingering sweet malt and bitter hop aftertaste.
Bottle. Pours a clear copper with a medium slightly off white head. Aroma is malts, pine and citrus hops. Taste is slightly bitter with the malts at the forefront. Some caramel coming through as well. Fantastic.
