Riddle me this: what grows on a stalk, a vine, and a tree, and then grows on you? It’s the Enigma of this year’s (2005) OBF. Deschutes made a hoppy pale ale with a British accent, then mellowed it in old Pinot Noir casks. A secret dry hop and a touch of caramel are back by fruity notes and good bitterness. The answer is in your mug grasshopper!

an interesting pale ale, to say the least. i had the pleasure of being at the pub when this came out. very complex. you still get the hops, just subdued to an extent, a good malt follow up, and some woody oak from the pinot. quite good.

Tasted on Tap at 2005 OBF. Medium amber color. Small to medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is caramel, touch of oak and fruity. A medium bodied American Pale Ale. Malts are caramel and fruity. Hops are earthy and floral. This one is more in the English style of Pale Ales. Yet there is a touch of the Pac NW hops in the beer. The Pinot Noir cask adds an oaky and a slightly vinous quality to the beer. Very Interesting. Mouthfeel is Full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
