Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA

This 6.0% ABV India Pale Ale is from the Deschutes Brewery of Bend, Oregon. It is made with Citra and Mosaic hops. 

The beer pours a reflectively clear copper and orange in color. There is an inch of thick and foamy off-white head. The aroma is hop forward, loads of citrus, tropical fruits and passion fruit, with just enough malt to hold it all up. The taste follows the aromas directly, lots of lovely tropical fruits on a bed of caramel malt, followed by grapefruit bitterness. There is a touch of sweetness that is then knocked down by the tang and bitterness. The finish is only moderately bitter, with the tang of passion fruit skin. This is a straight ahead and straight forward hop heads dream. If you love citrus, tropical and passion fruit hop bombs of IPA's that are well-crafted and delicious, well then, what are you waiting for?
