Overall, our reaction was an emphatic "meh" with this brew. Not the best red we'd tasted, but certainly drinkable. A little too hoppy for our taste, but that's kind of traditional for Deschutes. Not that we're anti-hops. Oooooh no. It just didn't fit perfectly with this beer.
Pike - Kilt Lifter Scotch Style Ruby Ale
A solid Scottish ale. It's pretty malty (which we dig on), and has good hop proflie and balance. All in all we'd recommend this for the craft brew beginning drinker to try out. It won't scare you off like an IPA might (work your way into it!) and it leaves you wanting to try more beer.
Hoegaarden - Belgian Wit
Excuse me waiter? Yes could I get some liquid clove please? What's that? You serve the Hoegaarden Belgian Wit? I'll take that instead. We're just messing with you Hoegaarden. How can we not with a name like that? This is a smooth brew with mild hoppiness. We'd recommend it in the fall when the weather is juuuust starting to cool off. It's got that clov-ey flavor that just mixes well with Autumn.
