Dec 17, 2007 Bottle. Has long since been one of my favorite pale ales. Beer had a very nice light hop aroma with some cirus fruits mixed in as well. Beer poured a light amber with a ruby hue. Nice dry finish.

Dec 13, 2007 Bottled, consumed on 12/13/07. Crystal clear medium golden pour with very fine off-white head that lasted quite some time. Rich citrus and pine aroma with subtle notes of sweet... peppermint?? Can’t put my finger on it, but pleasing nonetheless. Smooth mouthfeel with a touch of that Bass Ale apple flavor. Fleeting sourness gives way to lightly bitter, smooth finish with no astringency. Very drinkable.

Dec 8, 2007 On draft at the Corbett Fish House, 12/5. For a pale ale, it was quite good. Got me two 20 oz. pints of it. Slightly fruity aspect; I need to put this up against SNPA and see how hey compare.

Dec 7, 2007 Updated: Dec 12, 2007Dark for a pale ale, a brown shade of gold and hazy. Lots of apricot flavor, not so bitter. More like an English Pale Ale.
[Tasted next to a Anderson Valley Poleeko Gold Pale Ale]
The Poleeko is much lighter in color, and citrusy sweet in flavor. The Mirror Pond has more malt backbone and a full bodied fruity flavor.

Dec 1, 2007 Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Cloudy amber color. Nice sweet hoppy aroma, resiny and fruity. There is some sweet toffeish flavor, but a bit dry mouthfeel. At least there is a good hopping, strong and a bit resiny and fruity (apricots). Pleasant.

Nov 20, 2007 Updated: Dec 21, 2007 Cloudy reddish amber color. medium sized white head. ~Aroma is very subtle, sweet honey aroma, bit of floral.
Taste sweet, honey flavor.~ Not a very exciting beer, but worth buying again.

Nov 11, 2007 I’ve had this one so often I can’t believe I haven’t rated it yet. Pours a cloudy copper color with a nice white head. Strong aroma of flowers and hops. Flavor is, complete, bitter and hoppy. Finish is full and hearty with a very nice hoppy aftertaste. Pound for pound one of the best IPAs out there. Deschutes has yet to let me down.
