Mirror Pond Pale Ale – Deschutes Brewery – Bend, Oregon

Looking for a new pale ale to try instead of Bass, Sierra Nevada, or even our award wining Summit?  Check this out!  Very British in style, it instantly  brought back fond memories of English Real Ales found in all the pubs there.  After pouring, you notice a deep coppery amber color, and then the distinct floral ester aroma of the Cascade hops.  You’ll get caramel, citrus, lemon, and grapfruit flavors with a fresh yeasty bread doughy character that leads you to a light toasty and satisfying finish. But don’t take my word for it, Alstrom Bros from the Beer Advocate gives this brew an A-.  I would give it an A+.  Cheers!

Price: $9.99 /6pk  or $3.99 /22oz bottle
