japewang (42), USA May 11, 2008 bottle. Red/amber. Rocky moderate head. Herbal notes. Sparkling. Hoppier than i thought it would be. boFNjackson (395), Portland, Oregon, USA May 9, 2008 Bottle... Poured deep, hazy amber color with a moderate head. Aroma is crisp, floral with herbal hops. Palate has big carbonation. Roasted flavors of almonds and caramel malt flavors. Some hops and barley grain flavors too. Finishes with with bitter hops. Has more hops than most ambers which makes it enjoyable. Rogueone (111), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA May 5, 2008 12 oz. bottle: Deep amber pour, big bubbly white head. Grainy and sweet nose, medium carbonation. Tastes of sweet malts, then the hops come through for a pretty bitter bite. Hoppier than expected. highibus (152), Vail, Arizona, USA May 4, 2008 Deep red color with fairly thin white top. Lasting lcing looks really nice. Aroma of spicy hops and sweet malt. Nice body and lingering hop finish. Probably my fav standard beer from Deschutes. RSRIZZO (904), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA May 3, 2008 Aroma is a fresh hop scent. Color is a deep amber with good carbonation and a nice thin but tight head. Taste super hoppy and bitter. Starting with a light/medium body it goes down fizzy. Finish is hoppy with a slight sweetness then slams you with a bold bitter bite. After taste is a little dry as the bitterness lingers on. It seems a little hoppy for an Amber but it is a very tasty brew.
