Quail Springs IPA is good. It’s different, not what I’d call a standard IPA. But classification aside, it is a really drinkable brew.
Cid always picks it up when he’s in Bend. Then I remember that I like it. I rarely pick it up myself, but since the holidays, DMTri has been bringing it by as well. Good times. It is a really nice set up beer for Mirror Pond.
Pick up a sixer. You’ll be happy.

I’ve never been able to get into the Quail Springs as much as the other Deschutes offerings. It’s good, but my tongue tends to prefer the darker side of life, from Cinder Cone to Black Butte.

Hmmm…personally, I have always hated Cinder Cone, while all other releases I really enjoy. You’re calling Cinder Cone dark?
Black Butte is choice, but I pretty much burned myself out on it before I was 21. I rarely pick one up unless I’m at the brewery and they have it on cask.

Cinder Cone isn’t dark, and I never liked it either. I just have to say that its a damn shame you got burnt out on Black Butte so young.
