Commercial Description:
Unconventional. Uncompromising. A Deschutes original. This IPA style beer utilizes hops in a way never attempted by our brewers, evident in both aroma and flavor. The Cascade and Centennial hops are balanced by 2 types of crystal malts as well as American pale malt and German pilsner malt. The wind beneath your wings, perhaps… IBU’s: 63

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.

Courtesy of keifdog. Pours a very striking clear copper with thin white head. The aroma has notes of crystal malts, spice, floral hops and a bit of fruity esters. The taste has a nice rich malt to crystal malt goodness moving then into a modest level of pine and grapefruit hop flavor. Quickly the hop flavors pick up a mild level of bitterness. But the late addition to the boil hop flavor remains the dominant feature all the while supported by a tasty level of maltiness.

Bottle at ACBF. Aroma of green hops, toffee and cracker malt. Flavor has an odd earthy bitterness with more toffee and cracker. Medium bodied. A bit weak-feeling overall.

Bomber thanks to sparky27. Pours oranage with white head. Aroma is hops, citrus and caramel malt. Flavor is bitter hops, citrus, caramel malt and pine. Nicely balanced average IPA. Could have used more of a citrus punch to balance out the bitter hops.
