(Longmont, CO) – Oskar Blues Brewery will soon introduce beer #6 into cans, Gubna Imperial IPA. It will join Dale’s Pale Ale, Old Chub, Gordon, Mama’s Little Yella Pils and Ten Fidy.
Gubna, a single hop beer, will hit cans around March 1st though the brewery put it on tap for the first time last week. Fermentedly Challenged reported that it will be a seasonal that will be available from March to November, offsetting with Ten Fidy (available from November to March).
Here is the brewery’s description: “Emphasizing that complexity of character can arise from simple elements, this ale is made with three malts and one hop. Its light amber color and slightly spicy malt character are derived from the use of German Dark Munich Malt and Rye Malt respectively. North American 2-row barley combines with the other grains to lay the foundation for the hop onslaught to come. Summit hops are used exclusively in the boil for bitterness, flavor and aroma but it doesn’t end there. Post-fermentation dry hopping allows the 9.5% ABV monstrosity to gently coax the citrus rind and grapefruit aroma to join the 100 IBUs already present. This beer should greet you with a pungent citrus blast, provide a spicy yet round middle and finish with a brisk, clean bitterness.”
