A pretty good one, right in the middle of the pack. Nothing stellar but nothing screwed up either. A mighty fine IPA. 6.43% alk in this one, though how they can be that specific about their gravity is an oddment. Lightly cloudy beer, more clear than cloud, and it effervesces more than usual for an IPA. Definitely like this, but at $9 for six and that’s a buck-off on sale, there are better beers out there at the price.
There’s also a slight metallic taste to this IPA, which could just be hops playing tricks on my tongue, or it could have something to do with the other Oskar ale i tried, the “Pinner,” which tasted lightly like blood. Maybe it’s their water source, bringing in extra iron, i don’t know.
But the hops are well done, the body is midgrade, and it’s tasty. Ish. Rating here is 6.2 but would be higher without that metallic twinge.
