Nov 18, 2007 Updated: Nov 24, 2007Delicious!!! This was an awesome beer. One of my favorite of the harvest style beers. Find it and drink it when it is fresh.

Nov 11, 2005 Yes! Deschutes does it again! This is my favorite from them. Killer style. Fresh, crisp and not overdone. I agree with Alabasteor...between pale and ipa. I found this to be a flavor that I seek out in many beers and don’t receive. Funny how those guys in Bend knew what I was looking for!

does not count  Dec 20, 2007 Pours a beautiful orange/red copper color (if that makes sense) from a bomber. Nice white beige/white head that retains itself nicely with a small amount of lacing on the glass. Smell is everything one could want in a fresh hop pale ale. Citrus and floral hop aromas attack my nostrils with the fury of 1,000 dinosaurs. The taste is very good and walks a fine line between IPA and Pale ale. Slightly sweet with a full mouth feel and a nice bitter finish. I’m going to drink this now.

May 30, 2007 Holy cow! I might have a new favorit beer here. Pours a great copper color with a decent graham cracker color head that leaves nice lacing; clear with decent carbonation. Aroma of that great deschutes ice tea smell and carmeled ginger, honey, etc. Flavors are awesome with decent, very fresh bitterness, light citrus, a bit of pine, fairly sweet, but not cloying since it is so nicely balanced. Extremely easy drinking, extremely nicely balanced and a great example of the style. Bravo!

Nov 4, 2005 I have always liked Deschutes and am very eager to try this offering. Pours a gleaming amber with reddish hints and a nice, frothy head. Slick hop aroma with lemons and tangerines. Well balanced, sweet grain bill adds to the enjoyment of the fresh, very flavorful, slightly tingly, bitterness. The lemons are there, with a wet, fresh flavor. Extremely nice, session pale.
