It also makes great swag for your variety-loving craft beer buds. CANundrum will now include the iconic Dale’s Pale Ale, the crisp Mama’s Little Yella Pils, the peaty smooth Old Chub Scotch Ale, and the 4.9 percent ABV PINNER IPA.ĬANundrum gives chronic CAN’d craft beer drinkers a way to pack in four different Oskar Blues brews at music festivals, trail side, or the lake. PINNER will join the mixed-pack, CANundrum, in February for national distribution, making that a hotbox of Oskar Blues beers. PINNER will be brewed in both home states of ColoRADo and North Carolina and initially distributed just in Oskar Blues’ backyards. “With the lower ABV, layers of flavor build on one another–with one sip citrus, the next sip pineapple, next sip papaya, next sip passion fruit, next sip toasted bread–and then on to the next pint.”ĭry-hopping with several different heady hops, including a killer experimental variety, gives PINNER this tropical, stoned fruit aroma with hints of pine and smooth malt in the flavor. “Many things contribute to flavor in beer, and with Pinner it’s a focus on hops and malt–with a considerable nod to the hops,” says Oskar Blues ColoRADo head brewer Tim Matthews. To put it bluntly, PINNER will be the lowest year-round ABV beer to blaze out of Oskar Blues’ brewhouses. Coming in at 4.9 percent ABV and 35 IBUs, this primo dry-hopped brew will be easy to throw back. PINNER will be released first in Oskar Blues’ home states of ColoRADo and North Carolina in mid-December.

It’s all about the perfect amount of Co2 here, without it the texture would most surely be too thin and slippery. ![]() Similar to the aroma the mouth feel is also super light, crisp and accommodating.

It hints at summer stone fruits and mango while the subtle malt backing provides a balance with savoury notes of rice crackers and biscuits. The aroma is really light and crisp with a good dose of citrus and slightly spicy hops. This has a dry, biscuit malt flavor that balances nicely with a variety of hoppy, fruit flavors. Pours a slightly hazy, lemon gold color with a frothy head. The head retains quite well as it dispenses a thick and blotchy lace down the walls of the glass. While Oskar Blues labels this an IPA, its really a session IPA at 4.9 ABV and a light, easy to drink flavor. Slightly hazy golden in appearance with a healthy two finger crown.
