Deschutes Green Lakes Organic Ale

From tap at Toronado in SF. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is cornish and slight mouldy aroma. Fruity and cornish/malty. Bitter and slight grassy with a solid bitterness coming through in a dry finish.

I am usually skeptical about these organic beers, its cool but not really viable so whats the point? Anyway this is a great beer that just happens to be organic. Very nice orange-amber color with a soapy white head. Smells citrusy and tastes fruity and floral. Drinkability is awesome as the bomber was gone quickly. This reminded me of Inversion a little bit. Well done Deschutes! Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 01-12-2008 15:31:16

Bottle. Poured with a nice-sized, white head, with very good lacing. Body was clear and amber-colored. Aroma was of light malt... and some light hops in there as well. Already it’s intriguing. Medium-bodied on the palate, with average carbonation. Very interesting flavor... malty, initially... but again, ends quite bitter and hoppy. I don’t think I’ve had an amber ale that was this hoppy before. Very enjoyable.

Drank it on tap at San Francisco’s Toronado with my father. Medium bodied, mostly sweet like an amber ale, but better because the nice usage of hops that give it more flavor.

Pours an amber orange with a little off-white head that does some lacing. It smeels of crisp hops and to the tongue it is crisp and clean. It is a great summer ale. Cheers.

Amber honey color with plenty of bubbles and a thick head. Very sweet smell with not much hops to balance. Pleasant mouthfeel. Not much complexity to the taste, mostly caramel with spicy and peppery hop finish. A couple extra points for the organic factor.

On tap at Old Chicago. Pours amber with white head. Aroma is toasted malt with grains and caramel. Flavor is toasted malt, caramel, and some grains. Medium mouthfeel. Average amber.

Deschutes Green Lakes Organic Ale is clear and light amber with a thin off-white head that leaves nice lacing on the glass. It has a toasted, bready, grainy aroma. It’s light bodied and pretty crisp. The flavor is well balanced, toasty and resiny. It’s a nice session ale.
