Oct 17, 2008 I really enjoy the Deschutes beers so I thought I would give this one a try. The orange color and creamy head look good so far. I can’t smell much but my sense of smell has been shot for a couple weeks so, whatever. The taste reminds me of a more subdued Hop Trip. I loved the Hop Trip but this one seems like a watered down version but then again, what do I know? Very sessionable due to the low alcohol and easy-going taste. Not bad, but I prefer the Hop Trip.

Oct 1, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a clear, bright orange-amber color; off-white head with patchy, fine-bubbled lacing. Solid amounts of red fruits, caramel, and juicy orange bitterness in the aroma; nicely balanced nose. Medium mouthfeel: chewy, resiny orange and earthy bitterness, toffee and caramel (light sweetness), and red fruits; nicely balanced, slightly dry and well-bittered amber ale; nicely drinkable. Medium finish: red fruits, orange peel, and touches of caramel; balanced at the far end.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottle, pours a very cloudy yeasty amber orange beer with a very thin head. Aroma is hoppy like a citrus IPA. Flavor is a medium body of caramel, grapefruit, pine. Very smooth and delicious, thanks TikiE, from outwest!

Aug 21, 2008 Bottled: from out west! Pours a red amber color with a small amount of visible yeast. Smells of malt with hints of caramel, and taste sweet tartish with a lasting flavor of toffee. Nice amber ale!

Aug 18, 2008 On tap at Deschutes in Portland.
I always look forward to seeing this seasonal on tap. Very balanced. Great aroma and hop profile. A little unfocused on the mid-palate. Leaves you wanting a little more body. All in all and great red ale!

Aug 10, 2008 355 ml bottle. Reddish amber body with a creamy, light beige head. Aroma is fruity, grapefruit and berries with a little hint of caramel. Flavor is balanced sweet and bitter with fruit. Harmonic, balanced, with a sharp bitterness. Really nice.
