Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. A hazy amber beer with a lazing orangey head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and straw as well as lighter notes of grapefruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw and caramel, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is thin.

Smells kind of funky, like band-aids. Taste is OK, but falls a bit flat. Nice hop profile, but not much else to it. I generally like the Deschutes beers, but this one is not my favorite.

Cloudy amber with medium beige. Sweet aroma with toasted malt, caramel and hoppy notes. Sweet and hoppy flavour with caramel and citric notes. Ends bitter.

Another Oregon taster- A light copper poor with thin white head. Carbonation and a tinge of hops and malt. Watery and a little weak, not bad just a little empty.

Bottle@Beers of the World Live (NEC), 2008. Golden beer with a mildly hopped aroma and a dry and quite well hopped flavour. Overall an average hopped beer.

Bottle. Poured medium gold with foamy white head. Much lacing. Faint hop aroma with a little flower. Light crisp malt tast, thirst quenching but basically average. Light but pleasing finish. This is (I conceive) an unassuming little hot weather ale, to be quaffed on a hot day after long work. At that, then it succeeds.
