Hazy amber but with a few floaties. Light perfume aroma. Drinkable, but hasn’t held up well

Kind of a simple, toned-down pale ale. Some toffee and caramel notes in the background but herbal hops dominate the flavor and aroma. Solid beer.

Bottle (in NZ), pours a hazy amber. Toffee malt on the nose with a touch of fruit. The malty palate is a little soapy, the citrus and peachy hops struggle to break through. Oxidised from the trip.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Hoppy with hints of grapefruit citrus and a larger caramel malt bill. A bit bread y and thin but still decent overall.

12 oz bottle at the Bayou. Another new Deschutes beer in Utah, nice! Pours a clear golden color with a large white head. The aroma is light caramel malts, some hops. The flavor was smooth and easy; lots of caramel malts, light hops and a grains. Decent.

12 oz bottle. Best by date of may 09, so it’s a couple of months "past".
Pale orangy yellow, nice tight, creamy beige head.
Light aroma of caramel malt and even lighter grassy hops
Flavor is barely-there-caramel, with a mild spicy hop finish.
Hard to believe this came from Deschutes. Yes it’s "old" but it shouldn’t have faded that fast.

12oz. Bottle: Faint aroma of caramel malts and a hint of hops. Poured orange/amber in color with a small, white head that diminished but lasted as a film on top of the beer. Hazy. Sparkling. Full of tiny particles throughout. Flavor is slightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of malts, slight caramel, light toasting, light maple, slight grains, and hops. Medium body. Dry texture. Average carbonation. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter, caramel, and maple finish is dry.
