Commercial Description:
Unconventional. Uncompromising. A Deschutes original. This IPA style beer utilizes hops in a way never attempted by our brewers, evident in both aroma and flavor. The Cascade and Centennial hops are balanced by 2 types of crystal malts as well as American pale malt and German pilsner malt. The wind beneath your wings, perhaps… IBU’s: 63

Mild smooth blended hops over a bit of a crystal malt backbone. Clear light caramel color, strong dense head. Punchy with bitterness up front, becomes wet grass and clover quickly, crystal malt finish. backwards? still very tasty.

22 oz. bottle served in shaker- poured a transparent copper-amber color, low carbonation, inviting one finger pillowly white head laced and gave me smokes on demand. Aroma of pine, grapefruit, and a slight wink of hot aluminum- but I like it. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt has been carmelized and is highly enjoyable, hops do not crash down the door but come in nicely, middle holds up just fine, finish is mildly acidic, smooth, and very inviting. Makes me think of an old red chair from long ago on a shoreline in Michigan- overcast, choppy small waves hitting the shore, just watching the waves, birds, and thinking. When a beer can awaken an old memory, it’s a winner in my book.

22oz bomber from the Beerhive in SLC. Pours a bright amber color with a medium foamy white head. The aroma is nce fresh citrus hops, light caramel and soft floral notes. The taste was full of citrus as well, some rich apricot like hops, lightly bitter and a large dose of sweet caramel malts. Very drinkable and tasty.
