Apr 13, 2004 Frothy, foamy fenestrated head. Nutty, lightly malty and wan aroma. Aroma has some guava and apricot capped with molasses and brown sugar malts. A slight metallic character and pleasantly bracing bitterness. A nicely drinkable ale.

Feb 28, 2007 Bottle. Nice amber pour, dark crystal malt and hops in the aroma. Sweet dark malt with a tinge of spiciness, substantial hop presence balances well. A very well done amber, would certainly have this one again.

Jul 9, 2009 On tap at Cafe Bink. Pours like murky date juice with a creamy off-white head that leaves gorgeous lacing. Smells and tastes of caramel, hops, and crisp red apples. Extremely balanced and refreshing.

Oct 7, 2009 Pours reddish copper with a moderate white head. Aroma of grapefruit, earth, caramel, dirt and toffee, all very well meshed and held together. Tastes malty upfront with caramel, toast, and lightly burned biscuits, along with grapefruit and earthy leafy hops. Finishes with a lingering leafy, toasty and only moderately bitter aftertaste. Medium bodied, but drinks lightly. Like many Deschutes beers, it’s flawless put together and the flavors flow pretty seemlessly. Nice!

May 22, 2009 Bottle as shown. Pours a clear dark amber with a medium frothy light tan head that leaves behind good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a light floral hops with some roast and nuts. Thin mouthfeel with a bitter hops with a nice citrus finish. Easy to drink, a very good amber ale from Deschutes.

May 26, 2007 Ah Deschutes. They rarely brew a bad beer and this is no exception. Really pleasing malt, nicely balanced with some fresh hop character. Some astringency in the palate limits drinkability, but its still a nice drop, just not Deschutes best.
