These arrived today from Deschutes Brewery:

The newest addition to their year-round line of beers, Deschutes River Ale, a true session beer at 4% abv that’s set to be officially released on March 4th.

I’m not entirely sure I’m sold on the label; the light, neon-esque blue is a little off-putting, somehow, and that’s not even taking into consideration the orange on the edges (not pictured).

Otherwise, my main thought is, this should be in cans: my impression is that the beer is intended to be a perfect crisp session beer after a day of floating the Deschutes River, so canning this would make it the perfect “outing” beer. Here’s hoping!
