But, that said, I know the difference between an indifferent amber and a good one. The bottle I had was out of balance and cloying--and the thing I really didn't like was the dense viscosity, an almost gloppy quality. Deschutes is usually good, even in its low-hop beers, about making sure they finish cleany and crisply.

I absolutely loved this...I have to agree with Jon. I absolutely loved this brew and I think it hit the genre it was going for perfectly. I can see how you would be disappointed though if you were looking for something more "traditionally Deschutes" in that it wasn't as hoppy as even Mirror Pond. Try it again in the mindset that maybe its more comparable to Rogue's American Amber than Mirror Pond.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-60734632624445944452008-02-25T15:55:00.000-08:002008-02-25T15:55:00.000-08:00df34I thought it was okay but not great.

It's fine, but not as good as last year's... there seems to have been a bit of a tang or something weird going on there. But now I'll have to open another one up to see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
