Feb 7, 2005 Updated: Apr 11, 20062006 bottle.
Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing.
Body is medium to dark amber, bottle conditioned.
Aroma is
moderately malty (toasted bread, cookie, roasted grain),
lightly to moderately hoppy (flowers, apricot, grapefruit),
lightly yeasty (dough),
with notes of black tea, earth, redcurrant.
Flavor is
moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter.
Finish is
lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately to heavily bitter.
Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Quite interesting aroma for the style (and fairly easy-going hops, surprisingly). A little rough-edged in the mouth, but balanced well. Nice.

May 23, 2003 Absolutely wonderful brew. Thick body loaded with bushells of hops. Hops linger on the tongue for minutes. Gorgeous red color. Head could've lasted longer, but so be it. Fairly neutral aroma in the bottle I'm sampling. A definite keeper!!

Jan 14, 2005 Pours a dark reddish amber color, with a fluffy tan head.
piney aroma, with a fruity malty background.
flavor is piney hops, a little spicy with just a touch of sweetness.
Spicy finish.

Mar 5, 2003 Now I love ambers and I love Deschutes but this was a let-down. Nice hoppy aroma and flavor with a light head. Skunky aftertaste however.

Feb 12, 2003 Good hoppy nose to this amber ale. Malt is sweet with nice roasted finish that's when the hops take over. Next one I'll drink a tad warmer.

Mar 15, 2006 Beautiful not-quite-clear copper with a good white head; defintely more red than amber. Taste and mouth feel made me think of Brazil nuts ... a little malty sweetness, but with a nutty dryness like eating nuts. Some bitterness from the hops, but not the west coast piney citrus type. Enjoyable.

Apr 4, 2004 Draft. Arrived at the table hazy red-amber color with a small creamy off-white head. Nice full malt aroma, with lemon hops and ginger. Nice sweet flavor with a robust hop finish. Medium body and good carbonation. Nice session ale.
