Pour at the Holiday Ale Festival. Smelled and tasted like a foul mix of paint thinner and apple juice, pretty much what the kids these days would call an "acetone disaster". I’ll give a little benefit of the doubt that it might have just been a bad keg since this is Deschutes afterall, but this was undrinkable.

Tap @ Holiday Ale Fest... Poured golden with a white-ish head. Aroma was a bit acetone, vinegar. Tasted a bit more whiskey-ish, with pears, sugars, slight hops, yeast all blending with that vinegar quality. Sort of hit or miss for folks at the fest, I enjoyed this one.
