Nice bit of sweet followed with a nicely hopped, a bit on the hoppier side for an amber, but a) it’s Deschutes and b) it’s from Oregon...what do you expect.
Fantastic Organic beer, readily drinkable by the masses. Thanks Deschutes. Gooney (65), Oregon, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 8, 2008 12 oz bottle from Thriftway - Very nice looking beer. Tastes great for an Amber. This one actually won my Amber competition a few months ago. It takes the stigma away from organic beers. Beer2000 (1855), Kristiansand, Norway
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 8, 2008 On tap. Amber body with a thin beige head. Aroma is gentle sweet malty with certain fruitiness. Flavor is caramel, malt, fruit and some bitterness. Somehow a bit week flavor, but still well composed indeed.

Amber beer with a lightly malty aroma and a well hopped flavour. Overall a reasonable strongly hopped beer. Rogueone (506), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 28, 2008 Bottle, thanks Mark: Pours a dark amber here, with a very earthy quality. Sweet caramel malt, raisin, and toasted peanut in the nose. Flavor is a somewhat grassy hop, toasted malts, but the light bitterness here fades so gracefully off of the palate, this really stood out for me in this category. raphael (421), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 27, 2008 This is now my favorite deschutes (outside of the special editions like the abyss and black butte XX) as mirror ponds a bit mild for me while the inversion IPAis a bit harsh in hop flavor. aromas of pink grapefruit, caramel & wood smoke. clear red amber with sprightly head. good summer beer, crisp, with the citurs bending hops and enough caramel malt to have a solid balance while avoiding extremes.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 25, 2008 Pours a mostly clear, DARK red, with a small head. Aroma is oddly a bit smokey, and malty sweet. Flavor starts with caramel, and has a slightly bitter finish with a touch of alcohol as it warms. The sum of the flavors are better than any of the parts alone. Palate starts with some fizz on the lips, medium bodied with a watery/slick finish. Overall a good, but not great beer.
