Oskar Blues Brewery, Lyons CO. and Brevard, NC, Deviant Dale’s. IPA (16 oz. tallboy can). This is one of my favorite IPAs. It is my current stand-by, as I almost always have a four-pack (It’s sold in 4-packs of 16 oz cans) or parts thereof in the fridge. It pours a nice, deep amber in color with a light off-white/beige head which leaves nice lacing on the glass. Strong grapefruit and citrus on the nose with an almost sweet, hoppy, mild malty finish that is just outstanding. Very drinkable at 8.0% abv. This is basically the equivalent of a Double IPA. But, Oskar Blues calls it an IPA, because their Dale’s Pale Ale, is such a hoppy Pale Ale, it is really an IPA itself.
The lyrics from Widespread Panic’s song Tallboy, “Let’s sling a little mud, girl. Sippin’ on a tallboy” circle the top of the can.
