Mild pale ale, not as harsh as many of them around here. Makes it easier drinking. But could use more cara malts. Deschutes portland ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

355ml bottle. Pours clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma: malt, fruity, caramel/toffee, some citrus hop notes. Taste: sweet caramel/toffee, citrus/fruity hops, biscuity malt, moderate bitterness, slight aniseed aftertaste. Medium body, slick mouthfeel. Not bad but unimpressive, and I don't agree with it being hop-forward.

Bottle, a month before its BB date. Orange-amber color with small head. Aroma is marmalade, floral hops, pale malt, maybe honeycomb melon. Taste is orange marmalade, some bready malts, caramel, some earthy hops as well, slightly bitter finish. Silky mouthfeel. Okay Pale Ale, nothing special though - is this not fresh enough?
