Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA
Review
Creamy caramel comes to mind as this copper-colored IPA fills the glass, topped off with a thick, tan head reminiscent of a Guinness. The aroma is malt-forward at first, giving hoppy amber-ale vibes. Malt-forward fruity and toasty flavors, as well as bold bitterness, are barely related to today’s hazy IPA. But that citrusy, grapefruit-bitter finish is washed over by sweet citrus and malty goodness, lacing the cheeks and sides of the tongue with absolute pleasure. This ain’t juice, but it’s worth the squeeze.
