Jubelale
Jubelale was the first beer Deschutes ever packaged and has returned each winter since the pub's opening year; the brewery sells it as a festive winter warmer, with a painting by a different regional artist on every release. Crystal and extra special malts with a little roasted barley give toffee, dark caramel, dried fig, a chicory-like roast and a dusting of cocoa. Nugget, Cascade, Delta, East Kent Goldings and Tettnang add earthy, herbal spice. Medium-bodied, it ends dry with a long bitterness.
