Extremely pleasant aroma and good head starts off a very pleasant beer drinking experience. Deschutes has again produced a superior brown beer with excellent flavor and mouth feel. I never tire of drinking this beer!

Also sampled at Blooms and Brews Fest, but this isn’t the first time tasting it. Medium brown/ dark amber hue. Medium creamy head, with little linger or lacing. Very mild, malty brew with very little hop presence. A well balanced beer. Great after a long hike.

This is a very good spring seasonal. Nice dark color but very light in the mouth. Very easy to drink. This beer has a very short season of availability so if you see it, buy it!

Courtesy of Bück Dich <!-- P --> Aroma is strong with fruity notes and hearty malts. There is even a very mild chocolate malt element and some faint roasty notes. Body is a dark amber that approaches brown with a diminishing thumb thick tan head. Fore is quite chocolatey with mild roast notes, peanut skin, caramel and a dry very slightly bitter finish. Very sharp delinieation of flavor points and quite punchy overall flavor wise. A damn fine Brown Ale that is up there, imo, with the best of Brown Ales.

These guy’s keep bring out good beer. A fine brown in it’s drinkability and semi-complex flavors. A little woody like the label suggests. Nice job Bend.
