Deschutes Twilight Ale

Brewed by Deschutes Brewery
Style: American Pale Ale
Bend, Oregon USA

Blonde in the pour with a decent sized white head. Hops and malts are well balanced with hints of floral tones and citrus. A summer brew for certain, easy to drink in the heat of the day.

12 oz bottle, via Indiana_Red. Pours a hazy orangish copper color with a small white head that faded quickly. A light fine sediment noted in bottle. Lightly bready malt aroma with a citric and earthy hop overtone. Flavor is fairly light and fruity with a moderate hop bitterness. Finish has a light acidity to it with a short lived bitterness. Fairly light bodied with a fizzy and lively carbonation level. Not the most exciting of beers, but no major flaws.

Yellowish golden color, with a small fizzy head. Citrusy hop bite right off the bat, light toasted malts. A decent little quaffer.

Bottled. Pours a pale straw color. A soft, medium body with a full mouthfeel. Early mellow hop flavor where a mild hop bitterness tops the pale malt flavor. Nice summer brew with complex flavors. Like the label says - "unique blend of four hops."

Golden color with a decent smooth white head. The lacing is non-existant as the head reduces to about a 1/8 inch. The aroma is slightly toasted, light malts with a little bit of grassy hops in the background. Altogether subtle. The lacing appears after the first gulb and appears sparcly on the edges of the glass. The flavor is upfront grassy hops but the finish is more of the malt backbone that is nice and lightly toasted. I can appreciate this little beauty. I was expecting nothing more than a standard summer brew, but this was quite nice.

The beer is a clear straw color with a good head that quickly dissipates but leaves a nice lacing. It has a grainy nose with notes of grass. Nice malt character with a good hop bite to balance it out. The finish is dry and clean. Nice beer.

This beer pours a cloudy straw like goldeny color with a very thin layer of head and a small layer of lacing. The aroma is very straw-like with hints of wet grass, hops and cardboard. Flavor is medium bodied with heavy carbonation and heavy wet grass and cardboard flavor. Not incredibly appealing with a heavy watery finish with a slight citrusy sweetness. Extremely plain almost nutrisweetness to this beer. Dry....dry dry...if I haven’t said that already. Almost difficult to drink.

Pours a medium brown with red hues. Aromas of hops, malts, and a slight nose of citrus Flavor is hoppy, with a sweet malt taste. Was watery towards the end.
