It is only too appropriate that the brewery responsible for Deviant Dale’s shares it’s initials with two simple words: Outstanding. Beer.
I’ll be the first to admit, as some of you may recall, that I’ve had my share of doubts concerning those Oskar Blues folks. After underwhelming, though not altogether unenjoyable, experiences with Gubna & Dale’s Pale, I was pleasantly surprised by their Imperial Red, G’Knight; but still far from ready to hop on the beer bandwagon & proclaim OB the best thing to happen to canned beer since pop tops.
Then along comes Deviant Dale’s and… Wow. Deep golden-amber pour with a finger of thick, frothy head. That first inhale? Mmmm - loads & loads of piney, citrusy, grassy hops. Those wonderfully hoppy notes stayed right there in the taste as well, every deliciously resiny drop. Delicate lacing adorned the glass from top to bottom, each ring evidence of my pausing just long enough to come up for air.
This may not be my favorite canned craft beer, but it’s definitely a welcome addition to my top five. My hat’s off to you, Oskar, for making me a Blues-liever.

I have the same reaction to beer in a can. If it is coming from a metal housing…then I (snobbishly) assume it is not going to be very good.
