Deschutes Brewery is located in Bend, Oregon and has been brewing since 1988. They've expanded over the years to include a brew pub in Portland as well. This pale ale is styles as a west coast IPA, which is less hopped than a typical IPA.
It has a nice clear copper colour with a white head which fades fairly quickly but leaves nice lacing.
Its smell is quite subtle with notes of hoppy bitterness, floral notes, maltiness and citrus .
The hops take centre stage starting with the floral notes as the maltiness joins the fray the bitterness comes through and the citrus blends together with it all at the finish.
A very nice brew, somewhat more hoppy than some other west coast style IPAs, but still less hoppy than a traditional IPA. A very nice brew for everyday drinking, great with friends, food and fun.
