Aug 20, 2009 2/7/09 from 12oz bottle. Aroma is rich and malty, with more sweetness than roast and a faint smoky character. Appearance is clear brown with a well maintained off white head. Flavor is sweet-sour roast forward with no caramel and very low bittering. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a low carb texture. Overall, quite good at first, but gets tough to have more than one as it warms even a touch.

Aug 17, 2009 12 oz bottle. Crystal clear light brown with a medium off white head. The aroma is bread, roasted grains and a very light Pac NW hop. Flavor is mostly a sweet malt base with a bit of bitterness and even some sourness in there too. Medium body and a clean finish. This is a good beer from Deschutes and after rumors that they won’t be making this one anymore I thought I would give it a rating.

Jul 19, 2009 A - Pours a clear light copper color with a finger of off white head.
S - Light roast aroma, there is a brown ale smell for sure. Not the most aromatic beer.
T - Nice subtle malt sweetness and with some light hop flavors. Not overly complex, a satisfying brew.
M - Thin bodied, medium carbonation that is a bit stingy.
D - Nothing wrong with this beer. You could do much worse than this brown ale. Another solid beer from Deschutes.

Jun 17, 2009 Bottle from Sun Devil. Pours a warm amber color with plenty of tan foam. Smells of hops and toffee. Tastes similar with added notes of overripe red apples, black tea, and apricot. Not bad, but not ambitious or memorable either.

May 6, 2009 12 oz bottle from Bev4less. Pours an amber-brown color with a big beige head that has fair retention. The aroma is mild with brown sugar, plums and apricot. The taste is lightly fruity, like a Dunkelweizen, but then develops into a slightly sour malty mess. Lacks a good finish. The Mouthfeel is initially thin but fills out toward the finish. Overall: Better than the macros, but not better than most home-brew.
