I gave <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deschutesbrewery.com\/brews\/year-round-brews\/green-lakes-organic-ale\/default.aspx\">this one<\/a> a shot based only on the brewery name recognition. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had a couple of other Deschutes varieties, and I have to say this one is not unlike them. On initial pour, the color of this ale was dark amber, almost red. The server tilted the glass and didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 give a full pour, so it didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t form a head. I subsequently rectified this. The carbonation level was moderate \u00e2\u20ac\u201c bubbles continued to rise throughout the life of the beer. The aroma was hoppy and sweet, and similarly, the first taste was fruity from the hopping. There was only a faint malt flavor in the middle with a bitter note from the hops. The finish faded out on the bitter note. The overall impression was that of <em>Obsidian Stout<\/em> with a lighter roast on the malt. If you like Deschutes other offerings, give it a try &#8211; I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t particularly care for it. Specifically, I was disappointed in the underwhelming malt flavor, and the overwhelming hop flavor.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Available at select stores and restaurants in the USDM<\/p>\n<p>5.2 ABV (buzz-packing!)<\/p>\n<p>Ambivalent<\/p>\n<p>Two out of four drunken monkeys<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had dinner over the weekend at a Macrobiotic restaurant, and they had several organic beers that I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t tried before.
