anyone else had this? its in bombers right now as a harvest season seasonal. i've never been a big fan of deschutes and this beer is no different. although the hop taste/aroma is alright, the crystal hops don't cut it for me, just a little boring. my main complaint is that there is no bitterness. im not even a fan of super bitter pale ales or IPA's, i like more focus on hop flavor and aroma, but a pale ale has to have some level of bitterness to it, and this beer is seriuosly lacking in it, it tastes like slightly alcoholic and carbonated hop tea, not like the good pale ale it could be. any other opinions...
