Deschutes Cascade Ale

Courtesy Chewy. Thanks man! If I was rating this to style it would be a lot higher. Aroma was OK. Light earthy hops with a big "stale beer"-ness to it. Pour was a nice murky orange iwth a one finger off white head. Taste was like every Golden/Blond ale I’ve had. Old light malt and stale beer with a biting bitter hoppy aftertaste.

12 oz bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. Slightly hazy orange color with small head. Toffee, mango and apricot in the aroma. Malty flavor with low bitterness, toffee, honey, apricot and mango. For me there is not enough bitterness for a balance.

12 oz bottle from Country Club Liquors. Hazy copper with a big light beige head. Nose is grainy with light citrusy hops and caramel. Flavor is lightly bitter with a lemon note and some caramel maltiness. Ok session ale I guess.

<b>Bottle 355ml.</b>
Clear medium orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, fully lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, light to moderate hoppy, flowers, orange. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. A bit borring but very easy to drink and okay. [260908]

Clear golden color, small white head. Aroma and flavor of dried hops, but not well balanced with malt. Average at best.

Draft @ Bond Street Brewpub, Bend OR. Pours a clear amber color with a small white head. Has a sweetish malty and slightly hoppy aroma. Dry malty flavor with some hoppy citrus hints. Has a dry malty hoppy finish.

Will it suffice to say that this is the 2nd worst beer Deschutes has ever bottled? It suffices for me!

Bottled at SBWF08. pours out in a hazy amber colour with a small white foam. Clean floeral and caramely aroma with notes of straw. Medium to light-bodied with notes of caramel and mild lemon. Short medium-bitter finish of nuts and lemon.
