This beer is intended to be a sensory assault for hop lovers. With four hop additions during the brew process and a final wallop of excessive Columbus dry-hopping, this beer is meant to say one thing: MORE HOPS! It was 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.

(Can, 0.355 l - canned on 22/12/16, at Kitty’s, 20170830) The beer poured deep amber and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had malts, caramel and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, caramel, fruitiness, pine and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty, hoppy and bitter. A nice hoppy strong amber ale.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Greg & Jane’s Beer and Wine. Appearance is clear amber with slightly reddish quality, negligible sparkle, 1.5-finger width foamy off-white head with good retention and spotty lacing. Aroma is citrus, fruit, earth and resinous hops over malty backbone. Taste is dominant sweet fruit balanced with bitter resin and earth, with late hints of caramel and nuts. Palate is medium bodied with thick, creamy texture, lively carbonation and sweet over bitter finish. Almost a numbing of the lips. Overall, surprised any vestige of malts made it through based on the description but gave it a nice dimension.

Not so much a bigger, better Dale’s as a more bloated one, Deviant starts with a massive smack of sweet caramel malt and...that’s it. Hops give off a modest pine slant, and the beer grows a minor IBU pop on the finish, but really it seems mostly bland, East Coast as hell and underwhelming.

Off white frothy head stayed well on an auburn coloured, still body. Bitter aroma of rye, hops & dry citrus. Medium bodied, smooth on the palate. Feels soft on the tongue. Bitter/Sweet flavours of citrus, malt, grapefruit, pine, hops, pith, caramel & malt.

Draft at J’s. Light copper with a finger of foam that lingers. Honey, bready malt and candied orange aromas dominate. Sweet on the palate, well-balanced though. Good malt character, more honey and citrus notes, grapefruit. Soft bitterness and light pine. Sweet on the finish with some mild bitterness.

Can from Appellation Wines Comely Bank. Appearance - deep amber to red with a nice fluffy head. Nose - pine, resin and grapefruit. Taste - earthy, spicy, orange, grapefruit and dry lime and biscuit on the finish. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a long dry and beautifully tapered finish. Overall - big hops but perfectly balanced too.

Draught @ Albion. Clear dark amber/copper with foamy beige head, faint creamy aroma, low carbonation, vanilla-strawberry cream tasting (!) smooth bodied brew, lightly bitter medium caramel finish. Astonishingly smooth, and not hops dominated at all.

Can’t belive it’s taken me so long to track down this beer. Great stuff though. Citrus peel and pepper. Amber pour with decent initial head. Very bitter finish. Tap at Red Apron.
