stefanje (609), (Santee) San Diego, California, USA Jul 14, 2008 650 ml bottle from Bev4less. Pours a slightly cloudy yellow gold color with a medium white head that lasts a short while. The aroma is musty fruits and bananas. The flavor is subtle with bananas, apple, a touch of cinnamon and spicy cloves. The mouthfeel was thin and watery. The finish was short and dry. Overall: I was not blown away by this beer, when I see the name Deschutes on a bottle I expect a tiger, but what I got was a kitten. A fairly ordinary wit.
fordest (1857), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Nov 20, 2008 22 oz bottle. Some sweet aromas with some floral notes. Flavors were not as sweet. Citrus and bright fruits but heavy on the wheat twang. Just okay. slimchill (694), Austin, Texas, USA Nov 20, 2008 Bottle. Sweet coriander and somewhat chalky aroma. Clear for style, yellow with thin head. Dry and chalky, light coriander and very little citrus. Thin. Boring. presario (2501), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Nov 18, 2008 Clear gold. Very carbonated. Thin head. Nice light pepper aroma. Light pepper flavour builds to long lasting peppery aftertaste. (Soft table pepper) Like a peppery golden ale. Delirium (440), Santa Cruz, California, USA Oct 26, 2008 Bomber. Pours slightly hazy yellow-golden with a small white head. Aroma is sweetish malt, witbier yeast and spices, with quite a bit of coriander. Flavor is similar, with a noticeable bit of orange peel. Not going to win any excitement awards, but it all comes together nicely. anders37 (2834), Malmö, Sweden Oct 25, 2008 Draught @ Deschutes Brewery and Public House, Portland, OR. Pours a hazy pale golden color with a small white head. Has a slightly sweet yeasty spicy citrus aroma. Sweetish spivy citrus flavor with some hints of yeast. Has a fruity malty yeasty finish with hints of citrus in the aftertaste.
