Nov 12, 2009 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX. Pours a very nice looking amber with thick beige head. Aroma is nice, floral, hopy, light caramel. Flavor was a little weaker then expected, but it was nice, some hoppy flavor, light malt, little grassy with some dirt. Mouth feel is medium body, medium-high carbonation, kinda watery. Overall, not bad.

Nov 9, 2009 Caramel amber pour with a nice thick, white head. Aroma is not overpowering, but has ample buscuity sweetness and floral hop pungency. Not over the top, but nowhere near mundane. I guzzled this bomber with surprising speed. Super solid pale.

Nov 9, 2009 Slightly hazy light copper pour with a soapy white head that dissipates somewhat quickly with average lacing. Aroma is sweet grain, earthy, and citrus fruit. Flavors of light caramel and grain with a floral/grassy character from the hops. Short finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation, no alcohol warmth. Decent fresh hop beer... last year was better

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.
