| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 7, 2009 Orange-amber and clear, no head or lace to speak of. Light carbonation, plenty of flowery and grassy hops combined with a sweet malt flavour. No sourness about it, medium to light body. Pine resin finish that fades without much bitterness. Very interesting APA, not an IPA despite being heavily hopped. JoeTheYounger (266), California, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 29, 2009 A slightly hazy copper beer with a good sized cream colored head. Right from the aroma I’m disappointed. Something called "hop trip" should smell a lot like hops. This does not. What I get mostly is an earthy, bready malt aroma. The flavor is not much different, there is a bit of hop flavor and bitterness but this is not even hopped to the level of an american IPA. Watery mouthfeel. Thoroughly dissapointing, I keep hearing that Deschutes is an excellent brewery, but have yet to taste the evidence. mpcerik (1), Boise, USA does not count | 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Nov 26, 2009 This was a delicious beer with a very fresh, citrus like, flavor to it. It has a very light body and goes down very smooth. the after taste is long and just as good as the first sip. This is one of my favorite beers so far. gracefullypunk (317), Washington, USA

Faint aroma of citrus and floral hops. Very fresh taste with plenty of florals and grassiness. petematte46 (225), Dallas, Texas, USA
