Deschutes Bond St. 19th Ann. 22oz:
Deschutes Bond St. 19th Ann. 22oz:
Due to a miss-print in the wholesale catalog we were without the Bond St. brew for a few weeks. It is now back in stock.
I hope many of you look forward to new Deschutes Bond Street releases like I do. This series is rock solid and when new ones like this come in I have HIGH expectations. The 19th Anniversary is a Belgian Golden style that comes in at a respectable 8.7%. The color is bright gold with a tight but thin head. The aroma is candy sugar sweet with malt and fruit tones (plum and tart apple). The flavor is not as sweet as you would think from the aroma and the fruit carries order well and the light citrus and spice hop bitterness although a bit off for a Belgian is perfect for this NW interpretation.
