Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Deschutes Brewery Fresh Squeezed
IPA. The hype surrounding tonight’s beer was pretty high and it seems like
lately I’ve been purchasing more and more beers made by Deschutes Brewery. On an upcoming trip I’m looking forward to
visiting the brewery in Bend, OR.
From the Deschutes Brewery website: “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.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a dark orange color with a large off-white head and great lacing.
Aroma: Tropical
fruits, citrus and sweet caramel.
Taste: Pineapple,
peach, mango, grapefruit and orange…lots of great hop flavors balanced well
with caramel and pale malts. Slight pine
hop presence, but mostly fruity hops.
Overall: A very
approachable and drinkable IPA, Deschutes Brewery Fresh Squeezed IPA is a very
good beer. The nose is amazing and at 6%
ABV it is pretty easy to polish off a 22.
I enjoyed trying it and would gladly drink this one again (hopefully on
tap at Deschutes Brewery).
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
