Light brown with a red tinge. Medium head. Light amarillo aroma all the way...Refreshing mix of bready malts, citrus and a bitter finish. Balanced well, but still packs plenty of hops. Great beer to bust out at the top of a long hike.

Very good red. Full of nice bitter, refreshing hops. Body has some malt, but is still very dry. Pours red with foamy tannish head.

Pours classic amber w/ a full, semi creamy froth that recedes to a contiguous brewers lace. Aromas of snappy citrus rind and malty caramel. Very nice! Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers creates a velvety texture. Balanced malt to hops ratio w/ a defined caramely grapefruit character. The finish is bittered perfectly w/ grapefruit rind.

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.

Bottle(5.4%) from BevMo, La Mesa. Pours a medium amber color. Nice sweet citric hop aroma with a hint of some English hop aroma. Some maltiness as well. Nice smooth hoppy flavors. Nicely balanced by some maltiness and some sweet character. Bitter hoppy finish.

Bottle. Nice reddish amber color - just what you want to see in a 'red ale'- topped by a nice off-white head. Caramel malt aroma. I was surprised at the amount of hops in here. It's well balanced, has a good hop flavor and is a good amber ale (not my usual). Not bad at all.

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.

Pleasant fruity and piney hop aroma. Brilliant clear copper color, thin off-white head. Flavor is a smooth blend of spicy hops and caramel malt. Even balance, with a slight hop bitterness lingering in the finish. Refreshing, well-balanced amber ale, good session beer.
