Jul 15, 2009 bomber. Pours a clear amber with a big, tan head. Great lacing. Nose is of hops, but less than expected. Taste is better than the nose, with hops and malt noticeable. Mouthfeel is medium bitter with lots of carbonation. A little below the good IPAs.

Jul 15, 2009 smells crisp and very deschutesy, hoppy but a little tame, has that deschutes sweetness too, tastes crisp and very nice hop flavor could use a little more as well as some hop bitterness to balance out the sweetness.

Jul 13, 2009 Thank God I have a good connection for DeSchutes in Pa. This beer makes me feel that there is something unique to Oregon IPAs or Maybe it is just Deschutes? One man’s IPA is another man’s Pale Ale. I think that is the case for this beer. It pours a beautiful orange brown, not much in the nose but it the first sip is a great balance of malt and hops, the finish is a nice creamy hoppy flavor like you are drinking a hoppy beer on Nitrogen. Really great cross over IPA - Pale ale.

Jul 13, 2009 Very mild for an ipa, tastes like an american pale, malt is more dominant on palate than hops.

Jul 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours blood-orange red, with a medium white head, nice lacing. Nose is citrus/grapefruit hops, malt, floral. Palate is creamy, almost minerally, with very nice bubble structure/carbonation. Surprising candy and white pepper finish. A bit of vegetal character in the mid-palate, though it doesn’t show until the beer has warmed up a bit. Good, solid, middle-of-the-road IPA. Really coming to like this brewery.

Jul 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear amber-ruby with an average, off-white head, somewhat lasting with good lacing. Aroma is average malt (cereal, bread), heavy hop (pine, citrus, flowers), average yeast (sweat) with notes of apple, tangerine, and alcohol. Medium bodied, chalky texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.
