This mouthwateringly delicious IPA gets its flavor from a heavy helping of Citra and Mosaic hops. Don't worry, no fruit was harmed in the making of this beer.

Re-reviewing this one as I haven’t had it in about a decade.

12oz can (packaged 3/5/2024) into a tulip. Pours a clear honey amber with a towering eggshell head, nice patchy lace.

Aroma leads off with big citrus notes—heavy on the grapefruit with underlying orange, mango, peach. A subtle sticky dankness underneath.

This beer hits the palate with an initial bitter bite, followed closely with juicy citrus (orange and grapefruit) and neutral bready caramel/pale malt. Some evergreen pine notes in there too, difficult to distinguish from the grapefruit rind. Not as punchy as the aroma—leaves you wanting just a little bit more than what you get—but still highly drinkable and refreshing.

Mouthfeel is balanced with a medium body—again, feels like Deschutes was going for drinkability here, a beer that a person will want to drink two or three cans of in a sitting.

Overall a pretty straightforward, slightly maltier twist on a West Coast IPA. Enjoyable but not particularly special or unique.

22oz bottle (best by 10/5/2013) into a tulip. Pours a clear caramel/amber color w/ a big fluffy white head that leaves behind beautiful webs of lace.

Aroma is bready, fruity, citrusy. Smells like ruby-red grapefruit. Imperial Red Chair?

Taste is also a great balance between malt and hops. Bready caramel and pale malt in counterpoint with citrusy and bitter Northwest hops. Has that clean Sierra Nevada quality. Reminds me a bit of Torpedo.

Mouthfeel is smooth, medium-bodied, drinkable.

Overall a very tasty, unique brew. Most regions of the IPA spectrum have been covered, but this one is different.

A little sweet, not pretentious, fruit forward at the start and finish. Thick head, this beer is like the city it comes from - growing, inviting, but it's about the mountains around it, it's not the destination itself. Still I will never turn down a Fresh Squeezed, OR a visit to Bend.

12 oz. bottle with a packaged on date of 11/15/23. Look of light copper/dark gold. Aroma of citrus, pine and malt. Taste is somewhat sweet with grapefruit and pine. Mouth feel is a little light. Finishes with some some hoppy bitterness. This a balanced and drinkable beer. Pleasantly surprised. Will buy again.

Look - deep gold, creamy white head, good lacing
Smell - citrus, tangerine, grapefruit, herbal, floral
Taste - sweet fruit, grapefruit, herbal spice
Feel - medium body, moderate carbo, herbal and pine in the finish
Overall - Juicy, citrusy and refreshing. This baby has it all at 6.4% ABV. Great citrus scent and flavors of tangerine, grapefruit and a hint of piney spice prevail. This is a really good brew I used to get while driving the rig out west. So happy to revisit this fresh squeezed gem. Pairs well with Squeeze Box by The Who.

One of the most refreshing IPAs I’ve ever had. A perfect balance oh hops, sweetness, and citrus. I bought this one randomly, but after just one bottle, I knew it was going to become my go-to IPA.

Pours clear with light head and golden color.
Aromas are flowery and candy like, very strong and pleasant.
Taste is nice but not as good as what I was expecting for the ratings I was seeing. I was expecting this to taste a lot jucier. Has some sour after notes and not as bitter as I was hoping for.
Has a thick feel in the mouth, but feels too bubbly, like too much carbonation.

A good beer for sure, but I doubt that I would buy this one again.

12oz can. Bottom stamp reads 'PKG ON 04/24/23'.
Mostly clear, deep gold colored body. Three fingers of off white head, which after a couple of minutes reduces to a fluffy cap. Leaves behind wide horizontal strips of lacing.
Aroma of toasted caramel malts, orange, pineapple, and pine resin.
Taste is kind of sweet and proclaims loudly the citrus and pine. Bitterness is noticeable, but not extreme. All fade slowly in the aftertaste.
Medium mouth feel. Juicy, yet drying at the end. Excellent carbonation.
Very solid IPA, which really embraces the expression of hops.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Pours copper red with a small white head. Smells of citrus and floral hops. Tastes of citrus hops with nice grain. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking. Overall, a good beer.
