Apr 27, 2009 Pours a dark amber/copper color... Not a ton of malt flavoring but a healthy amount of floral hop action. Good carbonation with citrus finish. not very much bite.... Kind of what you would expect from a beer called organic ale. GOod not great

Apr 25, 2009 Aroma: Mild aroma with notes of floral and citrus and malts.
Appearance: It pours clear with a dark copper color with a tall off white head. The Head is creamy (small bubbles) and persistent. The lacing is thick and clings to side of the glass top to bottom.
Flavor: Balanced towards the bitter side. No discernable hop flavor, but the malt backbone is strong and provides a solid canvas for bitterness.
Mouth Feel: It is a full bodied beer with effervescences on the sides of the tongue.
Overall Impression: A beautiful beer brewed to style that exudes quality. I would buy it again if I if it was sold in Kansas City. Personally I would prefer a stronger hop flavor, but then Deschutes brews IPAs and Pale Ales for hop lover like me… I have four more Deschutes beers to taste and I look forward to it.

Apr 6, 2009 On tap at Toronado, San Francisco, with Phyllis, 24th Mar 09. Dark amber with a full body. Lots of green hops and soft malt. One of the ’freshest’ beers you’ll ever taste.

Mar 31, 2009 Bottle. Oddly calm and visually kind of like an English pale ale. Fruity grainy aroma, quite malty. Nice hop bite with a warming malty mouthfeel. Gentler than say a Hop Head Red, but plenty going on. I would reach for this if it were available locally.
