Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Bottle. Light copper with very little head. Spicey with hop esters prevalent. A nice balance between hop and malt--cascade hops in the back and front--might have been dry hopped. Nice, full finish.
great Bendy beer. the Benndy qualities are brought out quite nice. maybe it's that Bendy water supply. got to love the cascade hops. well worth a trip to Bend
This one is one of my favourite session beers. I can enjoy it both out of the bottle and on tap.
