3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle. Crystal clear light brown with a medium off white head. The aroma is bread, roasted grains and a very light Pac NW hop. Flavor is mostly a sweet malt base with a bit of bitterness and even some sourness in there too. Medium body and a clean finish. This is a good beer from Deschutes and after rumors that they won’t be making this one anymore I thought I would give it a rating.

A - Pours a clear light copper color with a finger of off white head.
S - Light roast aroma, there is a brown ale smell for sure. Not the most aromatic beer.
T - Nice subtle malt sweetness and with some light hop flavors. Not overly complex, a satisfying brew.
M - Thin bodied, medium carbonation that is a bit stingy.
D - Nothing wrong with this beer. You could do much worse than this brown ale. Another solid beer from Deschutes.

Bottle from Sun Devil. Pours a warm amber color with plenty of tan foam. Smells of hops and toffee. Tastes similar with added notes of overripe red apples, black tea, and apricot. Not bad, but not ambitious or memorable either.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle from Bev4less. Pours an amber-brown color with a big beige head that has fair retention. The aroma is mild with brown sugar, plums and apricot. The taste is lightly fruity, like a Dunkelweizen, but then develops into a slightly sour malty mess. Lacks a good finish. The Mouthfeel is initially thin but fills out toward the finish. Overall: Better than the macros, but not better than most home-brew.

12oz bottle 4/26/09 (Courtesy of RSRIZZO)-Pours a dark amber with a small off white head. Aroma of caramel, roasted malt, and sweetness. Taste of malt and sweetness. This light to medium bodied brew is a bit light and is Ok with nothing to write home about.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Amber color, thin white head. Fruity nose. Taste is wet hair at first mixed with malt and a fruit sweetness at the end.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Esters full on the nose: dusty and earthy with fresh toasted bread crust and slightly moldy (but good). Fresh, bright, slightly sweet up front but turns sour and tart in the finish, not good. Moderately frothy texture over the middle but falls apart in the finish.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a light brown, similar to weak coffee. Strong beige head leaves plenty of tracing behind. Unfortunately it looks a bit like a rootbeer float. Sweet smelling with a slight note of malt. Caramel in taste, light hops, ends with a slight bitter finish. Good daily beer to have on hand.
