Jul 23, 2007 Bottled. Nice caramel sweet aroma. Malty, rich. Fresh hoppy grassy note, with light citrus. Floral, quite mild. Deep amber orange clear, with some small floaties. Lacing foamy off-white head. Medium-heavy watery body with medium carbonation. Starts with mild roasted grain and light brown sugar sweetness. Rather dry, with medium fruity bitterness. Bitter notes deepen as the malts rinse away. Thin watery bitter finish, and dry chalky, almost harsh, after.

Jul 19, 2007 Golden colored pour with medium sized head. Hoppy, citrus aroma with a hoppy bitter kick. Too hoppy for me.

Jul 11, 2007 Really hoppy brew, refreshing, crisp. Orange citrus is present, alcohol is smooth. Beer is well bodied. Very good beer from Deschutes.

Jul 10, 2007 Pours a clear copper color with a medium creamy beige head. Tangy aroma of orange citrus hops. Taste is bitter hoppy with orange citrus undertones.

Jul 8, 2007 Bottled. Clear amber body, gently sparkling, and topped with a large, ivory head that becomes lumpy and leaves thick splotches of lace. Light-medium body with almost no carbonation, and rather wet finish. Lots of floral hops on the aroma with honey, a touch of caramel-alcohol, and a touch of sweet bread dough; aroma is malt-dominant. Flavor is pine, peach, honey, brown sugar, and has a pleasantly long, bitter finish to dry the mouth out (making up for the lack of carbonation); the mouth is rather balanced...until about 3-4sec after you swallow. Some slight alcoholic warmth on the finish as well, felt in the chest cavity. Not too exciting, but pleasant flavor profile, light, and easy to drink. Refreshing for 100F+ weather.

Jul 6, 2007 A mistake. I didn’t think this IPA made, it fell short in certain areas. This IPA had a more pine and forest smell and taste not of traditional IPAs. The hop profile was wierd and the cara and carasont malts were not of my liking in combination with the hops. Not a bad beer overall, just not a great IPA.
