Deschutes Brewery King Crispy
What the brewers say
“Light grainy pils malt, flowery, spicy hops, no esters, crisp finish.”
What our panel thought
“Snappy and bitter. Classic German Noble hop aroma leads the way—floral with very light citrus. Firm bitterness up front and a very perfumy hop flavor with some sweet malt underneath leads into a dry clean finish. The hops are front and center and never go away. A bit grassy but interesting and fun.”
What our editors thought
“Slight weedy dank note highlighted with a pleasant touch of sulfur from a gorgeous head. Modern, but in bounds.”
