angrypirate06 (678), Texas, USA Nov 4, 2009 Clear copper orange pour with a fluffy white head. Aroma is fresh, grassy hops, tropical fruits.Flavor is floral, astringent, light caramel, nice bitterness, somewhat nutty. 17thfloor (1402), Chicago, Illinois, USA Nov 3, 2009 Bottle from 08 enjoyed sometime in 09... oops. Pours a sticky glowing orange with a big frothy off-white head. Aroma is nice and wort-like, caramel, sticky, piney, some tropical fruit, peachy, mango. Flavor is chewy caramel, tropical fruits, papaya, mango, peach, light pine. Slightly syrupy body, quite sticky. vacantskies (78), Spokane, Washington, USA Nov 3, 2009 Pours copper and clear. The aroma is floral and sweet. Tastes like cascade hops with a sweet then bitter aftertaste. Phillies2008Champs (26), Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 3, 2009 Pours brown with red to copper hue, Little lacing that disappears quickly, nose is small with hops faint, hints of pine with grassy over tones. Finishes clear and crisp. Nice little beer. nbutler11 (727), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Nov 2, 2009 On tap at Papago. I have to echo the comments of bigbish -- "I don’t know, I guess I just expected some hops". Pours copper in color with a soft white head. Smells distantly of pine. Tastes really pedestrian for a Deschutes beer -- light in body and flavor. Mild with hops, citurs, and malt. Bummer. ruffhauser (27), Seattle, Washington, USA Oct 31, 2009 Served at Tom Douglas Beer and Brats event. I am not an IPA man at all, but I really liked the Hop Trip. Enough sweetness to balance out the not-overly outrageous hop content. mar (1740), Rowlett, Texas, USA Oct 30, 2009 deep amber with a white head. fresh piney hops and esters for the aromas. very light on the palate and a light hop flavor with a clean finish. blutt59 (2042), Dallas, Texas, USA Oct 29, 2009 bottle, golden color with faint citric hop flavors and matching aroma, decent body and finish
