Deshutes Dissident Oude Bruin
September 3, 2008, Portland, Ore.
Just got back to one of my favorite beer bars, Bailey’s Taproom after visiting Deschutes of Portland for the Reserve Series release–the Dissident Oude Bruin aged with cherries. A 10-ounce snifter for $5.50 is deliciously puckering and in the league of many artfully American Brettanomyces beers. This tart little beer poured a deep almost burgondy hue. At around 30 IBU, the Dissident is well-balanced and flavorful! I was a bit surprised that the to-go price of this beer was just $10 for a 22-ouncer…cheaper than on tap.
