4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Very wonderful, light, crisp ale. A good summer beer. Light golden body with a thin white head. Beutiful hoppy aroma. Not sure how to identify taste except that it was bitter and slightly sweet.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice golden color,small white head that faded quickly leaving little behind.The aroma was citrusy and hoppy with maybe a light malt side coming through as well.The flavor was fruity and sweet at times with a change to a mild bitter sweet hop taste to go along with the citrusy grapefruit notes.The malt stays a bit on the mild side i think with the hops being the big deal here.Over all i’d say it’s a fairly decent brew that is nice to drink while catching a little sun while fishing.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a cloudy yellow with a frothy white head. Sticky lace
Piney aroma with some sweet citrus and a little bread in the background.
Light bodied, sweet citrus flavors, crisp finish. Very refreshing brew.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JUL 25, 2005 Rather mild brew other than the flowery and perfumey hoppiness. It has a light, grainy and toasty malt flavor; floral, citrus, perfume, and celery in the hops; moderate and slightly slick palate; fairly bitter finish. Good session brew.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
pours a very nice golden color, almost clear. Very little head with moderate to low carbonation. Aroma of citrus and sweet hops. Taste starts off sweet and ends bitter with a nice malty finish, kinda of wheaty like Fat tire finishes. /i love this new brew, I hope they make it into a year round beverage soon for my own sake. Thanks Deschutes.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Nice hop, grapefruit aroma. Light golden color, intriqite lacing on the glass. Nicely balanced hop flavor, very pleasant. Semi-sweet to smooth on the palate. Indulging and very refreshing. Not an outstanding beer but very quaffable.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Lt. orange, hazy, no head. Sweet aroma. Medium bodied with some very light hopping and a underlying bitterness. Should be creamier/smoother to be a bitter, in my opinion. Drinkable, but certainly an underachievement for Deschutes.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: APR 11, 2005 Pours a nice golden amber color with a white head that leaves some good lacing. Great fresh hopped aroma with citrus hops and a slight malt backing. Taste is very well balanced starting sweet and ending hoppy and bitter. Very smooth taste, should be an IPA, but anyway, sorry mirror pond, i think twilight should be deschutes new flagship brew.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Golden and slightly hazy with a nice, white head. Kind of light-bodied, but carbonation is full and clean, and the malt texture has a richness to it. Has a grainy breadiness in the malts; slightly sweet undertone. Flowery and citrusy (orange) hop aromas. Just a hint of tart/sourness. Flower petal bitterness resides on the tongue in the aftertaste. Overall, pretty good beer. Kind of like a light IPA or an IPA session beer.
