    Just tried this. I think the best IPA I have had. Increased my respect for the whole style.

    Definitely a favorite of mine as well, and it is very available. I pick it up regularly.

    I have a funny relationship with this beer. First time I had it, I thought it was the greatest IPA ever, now I think it's just OK and hardly get it anymore which probably makes no sense. Anyone else have this experience?

    It's a very good IPA, there's no disputing that. We can let others determine whether or not it's their personal favorite. No shame in enjoying this beer, sir.

    I think fresh squeezed is one of, if not the, most underrated beers on ba

    This brew on tap is amazing even better than the bottle the best that deschutes offers IPA/PA IMO

    I think the beer is great. The best part is its balance. It is super citrusy, while not killing with bitterness. It also is very easy drinking.

    I give this to people who "don't like IPA's". By the end of the night... they like IPA's!

    I love this beer as well. It is definitely my "go to" IPA these days when I'm not buying cans for the beach. Definitely another beer that gets underrated due it's wide distribution.

    It's bittered with Nugget and Citra and Mosaic for the flavor and aroma hops. With the predicted Citra shortage coming up next year, Deschutes is already experimenting with the recipe. I had a batch at the Portland brewery this summer that left out some of the Citra and they tried to make up for it with coriander...it came out a completely different beer and nowhere near as good as the original. Fresh Squeezed is one of my favorite beers to homebrew as well!

    I agree. I had forgotten how well Deschutes does IPAs until I picked up some and some other hoppy favorites.

    I've been a huge fan of Deschutes for the past 15 years, but this one just doesn't do it for me. I live for Citra and Mosiac mixes, but I get a soapy quality to this one. I've tried it multiple times and get the same result each time. Does anyone else get this?

    Coriander instead of Citra—that's a weird choice. Coriander sometimes has a bit of lemon-y lime-y flavour, but not orange-y tangerine-y like Citra does. I hope they learned everything they needed to from that experiment and don't do it again!

    It's fantastic. Hard to find it fresh here lately though.

    Super juicy. It struck me the same way first time I had it. I don't like to retry too often, but it's always a solid choice. I really don't know if I've tried a better tasting IPA.
