3 types of crystal malt, locally malted 2-row barley, and a ton of Northern Brewer hops.

According to Deschutes:
"This beer is dedicated to our incredible NW brewing community that has define the standard for this peculiarly American beer style."

Well, down the hatch!

Golden amber pale ale color with a frothy head and fairly sticky lacing.

Aroma is of hops (earthy and herbal), dry malt, and a bit of alcohol as it warms up.

Tastes like a concentrated pale ale. Strong flavors and a full mouthfeel. Mouth tingling dryness/bitterness hop profile.

Overall a good drinker and at 6% it doesn't really do you in to fast. Not a session beer, by far, but it drinks like one.
