Deschutes-Dissident

My local bottle ship managed to get Deschutes special release 'Dissident' in.

This is an interesting beer, it's one of very few in the US that's been brewed using a wild ferment. It is a Flanders Brown ale with cherries added.

The result is a tangy, fruity brew with some serious kick to it. It would stand up well to rich or spicy foods. All in all it is another excellent release in Dechutes Reserve line.

Really, the major complaint I personally have with the Reserve line is the packaging.
I mean, seriouly, if you MUST dip your bottles in wax, at least cork them. It is a total hassle to peel off enough wax to use your bottle opener on the cap.

And ladies, don't be lazy, peel off the wax a good way below the cap or you get crumbling wax bits in your beer when you pour it...not fun or tasty at all.
