Nice golden copper with a slighly unfiltered cloudy look. Not much head but determined lacing. Sharp hoppy and a bit of a bite right up front. Like the label says, somewhat floral. Seems well balanced and the finish has a bit of that hoppy tang. Bright and clean.

Medium amber with a nice head. Aroma is slightly citrusy, with nice hop notes. Taste is also citrusy and slightly hoppy. Good fizz in the mouth. A well-rounded brew.

Bottle. Nice reddish amber color - just what you want to see in a 'red ale'- topped by a nice off-white head. Caramel malt aroma. I was surprised at the amount of hops in here. It's well balanced, has a good hop flavor and is a good amber ale (not my usual). Not bad at all.

Bottle. Black, black and black. Definitely smooth in character, although its mouthfeel is similar to an imperial stout. Incredibly roasty body under one of the darkest brown heads I've seen in a beer. Probably just one will do ya.

Bottled. Light in color, with a thin head. I didn't find it to be as hoppy as the other reviews. Just a nice, clean smell and taste.

Orange hue. Cascades hops aroma with honey and citrus. Lemon pie comes to mind at one point. Beautiful hops and citrus in mouth with rich smooth body.

Another fine product from Deschutes. It's crisp, it's refreshing....something nice to drink during the hot summer season.
