Stu’s Review

Ah, I told you I would get this bad boy reviewed. After our pathetically long hiatus we are back and ready to tear the beer world a new one. Sorry DPA, you are the first of the New Year. I think I actually bought this six pack before my trip to Ohio at the end of December. This is no Sierra Nevada, but its not completely outclassed. It brings some interesting things to the beer table. It is full of debris, unfiltered, and is cloudy…I hope this is consistant with all DPA’s…I remember thinking that this beer was well balanced and didn’t go overboard anywhere. Its easy to drink, and well the flavor is subtle, not really what you want in a Pale Ale, why not just make an ale. I like Oskar Blues can style, it’s different and non-pretentious packaging doesn’t make it stand out and scream buy me, but it does chip away at your curiousity everytime you see it at the store. This beer is simple and there ain’t much to it, give it to a beer newbie it will make them feel classy and won’t scare them off adventurous buys.
