Fresh Squeezed IPA
Deschutes Brewery

Poured into SN IPA glass, of course.
A little cloudy and more orange amber than some and nice full tan head and a good sticky lacing.
A great aroma. Very complex with great tropical fruits with a dense citrus, some hop oil and a hop richness. Clear firm malt background helps prevent excess. Wonderful.
Again with a balanced and nicely played hop complexity. Some drying on the finish with just enough astringency to want to go back for more...quickly. A little less tropical than in the aroma, but still there. Some sweeter citrus with a nice sweet tangerine, but also some flower and smooth tartness. Solid malt grounding with a subdued crystal letting the fruits of the hops shine. The negatives are a little soap and an occasional off-putting bitterness, but these are minor in scope and never supersede the enjoyable flavors
A little above average for carbonation, but it 's not hurting anything here, now. A little lighter than moderate feel. Reasonable smooth.
This is a very nice IPA. If they can match this yearly that would be a wonderful thing.

 

Poured a deep gold with excellent clarity; two fingers of white foam; excellent cap retention; heavy ring; bands of soapy lace. Lemony pine nose. taste follows; firm malt base. Medium light body; moderate minus carbonation; a little sticky resin on the tongue. Overall, an outstanding IPA.

Pours a hazy golden orange with a fluffy white head. Lots of orange, grapefruit, mango, and citrus zest. Bright citrus hops with orange juice, tropical fruit, and a little pine on the finish. Smooth bitterness. Medium body with soft carbonation. Super approachable IPA with big citrus flavor and a smooth, refreshing profile.

On tap - blood orange citrus notes, grapefruity, some tropical fruits, pineapple, mango, guava, light toasty caramelized malt, and dank earthy herbal floral grassy pine

 

 

Look: It looks pretty darn good It's crystal clear with a nice head that's moving a little bit orange

Smells of citrus and pineapple mild thirols .. some grapefruit, In a hint of pine for your traditionalists

SRM ~15 and some protein haze I had a second one it was pretty clear

Taste mostly grapefruit... Sweet with a late clamping into bitterness crisp with a little pine... Combinations of pink and red grapefruit

Mouth feel
Medium body... Inherent sweetness arrives a little late, delayed bittering.
On my review I noticed there's some intentional layering and that's why others probably raised the score

Overall: drinks fast... I guess you can say it's a typical American No Coast Juicy.

Good beer... Nothing special... highly drinkable. I nudged my score up on my second take... Others still seem to like it more than I do. DNF

 

 

 

One of my old favorites. Haven’t had it in a while. Still a really good, almost perfectly balanced beer. Classic smell of citrus and pine, with a bit of spice and malt. Mostly tastes like lemon, grapefruit, and pine. Tropical fruit flavors of mango and papaya are more subtle. Light honey sweetness. There’s a noticeable bitter coffee note, which is unique. Classic and super solid.

 

 

Medium to dark gold pour, tight creamy khaki head. Nose shows citrus and pine.

Taste brings marmalade, resiny pine cones, unripe apricot, medium kilned malt. Medium mouthfeel, a little oily. Finish is bitter grapefruit rind and resin with some length.

 

A: crystal clear; medium gold in color; 1+ finger ivory head that receded to a thin cap; nice, thick rings of lace;

S: white grapefruit;

T: grapefruit and grapefruit zest from start to finish; moderate bitterness at the end;

M; medium bodied; moderate carbonation; moderately dry finish;

O: really nice WCIPA; so happy it finally made it to CT;

 

 

Pours dark gold with a foamy head that sticks around. On the nose getting some pine and bread notes. Primary tasting notes are pine, grapefruit, sweet malt, cracker, and dankness. Overall super well balanced and smooth, definitely one to come back to.
