Commercial Description:
A perfect balance of hops and malt brewed to honor the Bend Fire Dept's 100 years. With the special release for 2005, all proceeds go to Bend's sister city in Nicaragua for their fire department.

Pour was light golden with white fluffy head. Aroma of citrus and light fruit. Flavor was the same. Decent brew. May buy again.

On draft at Belmont Station. Perfect appearance, an unfiltered dark amber with ample head. On the taste end, it’s missing that crisp, tingly hoppy bite you’d expect for a beer like this. It ends up somewhat flat even if flavorful.

on-tap, Bend Brewing - Had on both regular and Nitro tap - Looked great, deep amber hue with a big white head (on the nitro) - Sharp hop presence, very ’fresh hop’ essence, piney with moderate grapefruit. Rich caramel malt backbone - preferred the nitro, fuller mouthfeel and really softened the astringency of the hops.

On tap at the Bend pub. Pours amber with tan head. Decently hoppy and bitter. Malt sweetness and a little citrus, but seems watery with a smooth finish. Not bad at all.

On tap at Bailey’s Taproom in Portland, OR--Definitely looked like an amber ale with a small whitish head. Hoppy grapefruit and caramel hops nose. Very nice for the most part, but a little watery in the finish.

Reddish amber color. Aroma is crystal malt, grapefruit, caramel. Medium bodied, moderate bitterness and sweetness. Decent amber.
