Who has seen (Deschutes) Fresh Squeezed?

Had it in MT for about 3 weeks already. I thought it was very citrusy and hoppy. Never had it previously, but I was satisfied with the 6er I bought and will pick more up.

 

It finally landed in Eastern WA not too long ago, and being somewhat of a Deschutes fanboy, I couldn't be happier about it. I love just about everything they do.

Little sidenote that doesn't please me so much; Fresh Squeezed is 9.99 a sixer, but all of their other offerings are 6.49 (Total Wine). Still a fine value, but 3.50 more is substantial for me, and keeps me from buying it more often. Most likely, I've just been spoiled for too long with great beer for 6.49 a sixer.

 

Glad to live in the Northwest!! Been all over for a month now, had it on draft 2 weeks ago.

 

I have one in the fridge right now

 

Got a lot of it here in Iowa. Tastes great still. I think after tasting some really solid IPA's since drinking it from bombers last fall has made it seem a little less special maybe but it's still as juicy as ever. It will be my staple IPA now that it's available year-round.

 

I haven't seen it in Ohio. Weird because we had Hop Henge which was delicious.

 

Not great news for impatient Ohio and Kentucky residents. I got this message when inquiring:

We just began distributing in KY & OH last month with 3 year round beers and a seasonal. Twilight Summer Ale will be coming soon but Fresh Squeezed IPA may be a little while... will let you know when we know...

 

It's my go to IPA. Not as bitter as Saga. I like Saga a lot, I'm just saying that Fresh Squeezed is a little sweeter IMO.

 

The Fresh Squeezed in bombers last fall featured Amarillo(?) hops, but the Fresh Squeezed in 6's is Mosaic and Citra

 

My brother sent me a bottle this week. Fantastic beer. He got it in AZ last week.

 

I'm on my fifth right now.

 

6 packs available in Nebraska of all places as well!! Nice to get at $9.99 vs. $5.99 a bomber

 

SE Missouri got it in two weeks ago...$9.99 a sixer but have been told that it will drop to $8.49 in a few weeks and stay.

I've already drank 3 six pks...it is extremely good and I find my self craving it's juicy nectar through the day...I only have 1 left in the fridge...time for another sixer.

 

You had to get a bad batch? There is so much sweet citrus on the nose and tongue I nearly have a diabetic attack every time I drink one due to the sweet, juicy honey punch in my senses that I get.

Or maybe your buds were off? That happens from time to time with me...something I ate or just not feeling "on"?

Try again my friend, it will be worth it...Cheers!

 

Nope, they had mosaic and citra. Chasin' Freshies has the Amarillo hop.

 

Had it again tonight and it actually tastes really good, so either that first bottle was bad (doubtful) or my taste buds were just way off for some reason (probably the case, even though it was the first beer of the day, so who knows).

 

You're definitely right, thanks for the tip!

I'm just glad I wasn't expecting my 6 of FS to taste like CF. I picked some up yesterday, but didn't want to try it on a wrecked palate, as I had a couple Curmudgeons beforehand. I loved CF; I'm a sucker for amarillo.

 

On a different note, anyone think this beer tastes a lot like Hop Trip, there fresh hop APA. They have almost the same malt and both contain Nugget. First thing I thought when I had Fresh Squeezed was "this tastes a lot like Hop Trip"... which is not bad as I love both beers.

 

Sixers in South Dakota

 

Don't know where you are in Texas, but Central Market in San Antonio has sixers.
