May 10, 2009 Super hazy deep amber coloured body with a thin off-white head. Aroma of hops and nice malt with a good nutty twang. Good bitter taste with balanced malt and a slightly hoppy taste. Good all around, but the hops definitely come out. Aftertaste shows clean flavours with some strong hops and alcohol as well. Overall, a nice beer - definitely good to try! I sampled this beer on draught at Henry’s 12th St Tavern in Portland, Oregon on 09-September-2006.

Apr 30, 2009 Aroma: Floral, resinous, citrus and slight caramel notes.
Appearance: The beer pours dark copper, clear and has a creamy off white head that persists.
Flavor: Bitter with caramel malt back bone.
Mouth Feel: The beer has medium body with a semi-dry finish and leaves mild tingle on the tongue.
Overall Impression: The bitterness is prominent, while the hops aroma and flavor is not; a solid IPA worth drinking

Apr 21, 2009 Bouteille de 12 oz. Arômes de malt caramel et de houblons américains (citron, pamplemousse, résine, herbes). Robe ambrée assez foncée, peu de mousse et effervescence moyenne. Très bien maltée, un caramel bien présent supporte une amertume de houblon moyenne. Le côté aromatique du houblon est relativement limité, mais le malt est bien présent pour prendre la place.

Apr 15, 2009 Dark, cloudy amber colour with an off-white head. Strong aroma of citrusy hops. I always get Cascade and Centennial hops mixed up but it sure seems like some of both is in there. The flavour is mostly of grapefruit, definitely on the bitter side, with a little bit of malt to balance it out. The finish can best be described as of a floral hop flavour quickly followed by an astringent hop flavour, and both lasting for only a short time. A rather interesting finish, to say the least. Body is on the heavier side with good carbonation. This is one of those beers that makes me eager to take another sip just to experience the flavours. It certainly helps that it uses some of my favourite hop varieties. I’ve only had a few Deschutes brews so far and this one certainly makes me want to continue to try more of them.

Apr 10, 2009 Updated: Apr 12, 2009Bottle from utobeer. This is ok, i bought 3 IPA’s and pretty much figured this’d be the worst of the lot....i hope i’m right. It just doesn’t hold together well. Lacks a bit of crispness, little bit cooked on the nose and flavour but it has all ’the right stuff’ loads of flavour etc it’s just the body is a touch cloying and the bitterness is a touch astringent.

Apr 4, 2009 Faint cinnamon aroma, pours copper with an off-white head that leaves a coarse lace. Complex, with a sweet and spicy start after which the pine/grapefruit hops hit and last all the way through. A subtle sweetness lasts until the finish - not malty, but glucose sweet. Great body and mouth feel, heavier than most IPAs. Deschutte’s best!
