Deschutes has a great process to attain consistency. Though I don't know your particular situation, I'd be more inclined to blame the seller and their storage practices rather than the brewery. Now that you're in Portland, make sure that you get it form the source and check out a couple of their other beers while you're there... Anon: That’s really strange.

Since moving to Portland 2 months ago, I've been nothing but dissappointed with this beer. Don't know if it's just a bad batch or something else, but it makes me sad either way.

I do sure miss Quail Springs IPA, though. It’s actually one of the beers that helped bring me into the world of craft beers back when I was a yougin’.
