Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale Ale

On tap at Ginger Man. Cloudy gold-amber beer with a sour apple, fresh tangy scent (like a mild Stone Pale). Fresh mown grass with malt-forward cereal (but not sweet). Can smell the hops, but taste is mostly malty. Clean fresh, lingering cereal is pleasant- would order again.

Copper orange in color...Mild floral hops aroma, slghtly spicy... Flavor is gently sweet and citrusy with a nice bitterness throughout.... Crisp finish with hints of spicy hops on the palate.... Good beer....

Deep copper color...thick, fluffy head with decent lacing. Floral, somewhat spicy aroma. Front is light and fruity...just a hint of crispness in the mouthfeel, with good body. Spicy hop profile in the back that’s bold, yet not overpowering. Finish has a lingering hop quality. A very well balanced pale ale...extremely flavorful, with just enough of a hop bite.

On tab at the M. Pours a nice golden color. This is a nice refreshing pale ale with a nice crispy hoppiness, woul make a good go to beer

On tap at the Yard House, Waikiki. Hazy copper with an eggshell head. Mild, sweet caramel, grapefruit and orange flavors, matches the nose. Smooth and drinkable.

Tap at Red White and Brew. Damn right. While on the malty side, this is a refreshing beer with a bit more heft than one usually finds in Pales. Brown malt - very sweet, moderate Cascade hoppiness. Simple but highly enjoyable.

6 Pack from my local grocery store. Pours a light copper color with a creamy off-white head and nice carbonation. Smells and tastes of mild citrus, floral hops, and salt at the front of the palate. Nice and simple for summer.

Sampled on draft at the pdx pub. One of my first favorite PAC NW IPA’s. Still good after all these years. Nice, light, floral hop presence.
