Deschutes Cinder Cone Red Ale

Brewed by Deschutes Brewery
Style: Amber Ale
Bend, Oregon USA

12 oz bottle. Nice dark amber color. No real aroma. Flavor is malt forward - i expected more hops. Well crafted, although I would have liked this to be a little hoppier.

V - Prototypical amber/light orange color A - Malt, pine, hops, citrus T - Very hoppy/piney P - Small bitterness to finish, good lasting impression of hops.

Pours slight hazy orange with white head. Nose is on he malty sweet side. Hops are minimal, but come through with some apple & grapefruit prickle. Palate is malt focused too, but hops quickly take over. Caramel starts it out but then a light orange hopy flavor comes along, with some pine, and the finish is caramel-pine like.

sampled on nitro tap at baily’s taproom, as well as the bottled version. for the sake of spontainety, i will rate the nirto version... pours a red/amber color with a nice frothy white head that contrasts well. tastes of sweet malts up front and fades into a slight hoppy peppery taste. smooth as silk as it was nitro’ed. suprised by the nitro which was well welcomed.

On draft at Hamilton’s Tavern. Pours aclear rust hue with an ivory dollop of whipped froth. Balanced nose of apricots, buttery yeast, melon seeds, and peppery hops. Creamy with a prickly tinge, but palate filling. Toffee-glazed toasted nuts immediately anchor the snappy leathery yeast and earthy hop blend. Intense backside of spicy, fir tip-accented bitterness. Rounded fruity underlay caresses the scratchiness of the mild roast and leathery yeast. Light huskiness at the core comes and goes. Finishes dryly chalky and spicily hop-laden with herbal Tettnang. Stellar session brew which eloquently intertwines vibrant yet forceful hop bitterness with a plentitude of malt,

Very IPA like. Good but I expeted something sweeter when I pull a red off the shelf. Bitter malty taste lead to a short bitter finish. You just can’t go wrong buy a Deschutes of any kind!

sweet piney aroma. pours clear dark copper with a big white head. thin body, with a slightly hoppy finish. good and drinkable

Light tan head, medium statured with excellent retention and a nice looking web like lacing. Amber orange in color with a light haze. Spicey hop nose with some gentle malt under tones. Body is almost medium though a tad watery, good carbonation. Light caramel malts and a touch bready with faint pine, citrus and grass notes, lightly fruity. Dry malt finish and a decent hop bite. A good entry level micro, not offensive at all. Props to SDbruboy for the bottles!
