| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jul 11, 2007 I was unimpressed by this beer, I thought it would have more character. But its a fairly generic golden ale. Decent body, but nothing unique going on. fakepurseninja (789), Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 10, 2007 really liked this bond street ale- very malty with lots of hop citrus and a nice pear, apple, bannana, earthy, sweet malt backbone. Pretty astringent although low to moderate ester concentration. I liked this as a NW inspired belgian ale, not being a fan of the traditional euro-style. This had a mix of things great about american pale ales with a nice belgian kick. May be hard to classify it as a belgian strong but it is a very nice drink regardless. leitrim65 (398), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 9, 2007 Dark golden in color with a large frothy white head. Citrus, hops, and yeast in the nose. Strong citrus flavors consisting of lemons and oranges are accented by yeast, and some spice. Good, but Deschutes normally does better. OldMrCrow (1201), Seattle, Washington, USA

I’m usually pretty fond of the Deschutes Bond Street series, but this one is quite a disappointment. It does alright on the aroma - lots of lemon and pear - at fridge temperature, but as it warms it becomes cloying and the flavor follows in the worst way. Bandaid, banana, sweet sticky corn with a mismatched attempt at a strong bitter finish.
