Deviant Dale’s IPA (8% ABV, 85 IBUs) was born at the crossroads, in a juke joint, as if Dale’s Pale Ale sold its soul to balance Deviant’s foreboding aromas of citrus, grapefruit rind and piney resins with a copper ball-of-fire color and inscrutable finish. The 2011 GABF Silver Medal Winner (American IPA Category) is the Devil incarnate with untold amounts of malt and hedonistic Columbus dry-hopping. Oskar Blues’ southern spirit caught a northbound blues bus to ColoRADo to deliver the boundary bustin’ brewery’s first 16 oz. tallboy can.

Here are a few glowing reviews from Beeradvocate.com and Ratebeer.com beer nuts who’ve flipped for Deviant Dales:

“I was pleased with the balance of malt and hops in this beer even though I couldn’t ever get away from the powerful aroma of the hops. Oskar Blues seems to have found a wonderful recipe for this 7th beer to head to the canning line. I’d rank this up with some of the best IPA’s I’ve had”
- Dave Butler – Fermentedly Challenged

“Excellent balance, hops and malt, sweetness and mouthfeel, and that great aroma. Even as you are drinking it, you are still smelling that great hop nose. Excellent, I love it.”
“Citrusy, high alcohol resiny nose,” said Gregg Glaser. “Taste is super intense hops, piney resins and alcohol. Just enough malt sweetness to carry it. It finishes dry, but those hops keep on going!”
-Gregg Glaser

“Nice nose, this is beautiful,” said taster Robert Lachman. “Hops interlaced with sweet malt.”
