Ascend through dense pockets of high-altitude, floral hoppiness before reveling in an immersive malt body with a bitter yet balanced finish.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with stable off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and caramel and fruity notes and a touch of hops. Bitter, hoppy flavour with notes of roast, grass and citrus and a subtle touch of caramel. Bitter aftertaste. A very nice, deliberately unbalanced experiment. A good thing.

OK, another IPA. From a bottle into a big clear mug. Looks smells like many other IPA. Thin small bubbles foamy head. On IPA- its imperial, yes, mouth cloying rude bullshit, terribly on style for a double eye-pah. Now the aroma gets a bit volatile, showing its hi abv alkiness. Of the rudest. Long btter nasty linger won’t let me taste anything for an hour. taste your food before you sip this. smack you in the face kik you in the mouth

Bottle from Super Bugsen, Cph - pours a nice amber colour with a creamy head and healthy lacing. Strong punchy hop character, grapefruit, mandarin, some grass, caramel malt. Good stuff!

355 ml. bottle poured in to a tulip. Slightly hazy, deep copper-orange with a creamy, off-white head. Fruity aroma with citrus, resin, grass and pines. Quite hoppy. Caramel malts, toasted. Taste is bitter. Medium body, average carbonation. Finishes bitter and dry with lots of hops and toasted malts. Good US-style IPA. Excellent considering the price tag.

From a 12 oz bottle enjoyed in Gardiner MT. Pours a clear deep copper with a thick off white head. Grassy hop nose. Strong malt flavors. Smooth mouthfeel. Mildly better finish.

From Jun 2006
Poured from 12oz bottle (best by 8/31/06) an amber gold with a large head of foam that dissipated slowly leaving a fine layer with some lacing.
The smell is on the delicate side...notes of citrus from the hops and some spiciness.
The taste is a strong citrus bitter up front but then, a good malt sweetness(caramel) moves in and balances the taste nicely. The finish goes back to and actually intensifies in the bitterness and spiciness department. Hmm....I'm liking this new IPA from this very solid brewery!
Bottom line: Another solid offering from Deschutes that I hope makes its way to Casper for further "testing". :^)
