deschutes' inversion ipa
oh deschutes!
so much great product coming out of another oregon brewery!
the inversion ipa pours with an incredible creamy head (on a vigourous pour - like i know any other kind)
more caramel malty on the nose, until i take a really big sniff
then, then the citrusy hops come out
clear caramel colour
definitely complex, caramel malts and citrusy hops tantalizing my tongue alternately...
6.8%
80 ibus
228 calories for 12 oz
the bottle says: "like its name suggests, inversion ipa defies the ordinary. with layers of soft caramel malt notes and generous amounts of our favorite northwest hops. for a bright, sunny citrus finish."
"here in oregon's high desert, seasonal changes often bring about a peculiar weather phenomenon - an inversion. the higher up the mountain you go, the sunnier it gets. so even when bend is covered in clouds, the faithful know where to find clarity."
the website says: "Our year-round beer answer to the siren call of the hop. Inversion’s trio of American hops deliver an over-the-top nose with hints of orange and grapefruit. Then we toss in seven days of dry-hopping for good measure. Because we can.

No mere hop sledgehammer, Inversion is a careful fusion. Crystal and Carastan malts woven throughout provide for a surprisingly soft, caramel complexity for an 80-IBU IPA.
Named for a local weather phenomenon where clouds hug the base of the mountain only to reveal clear skies

me, i say delicious! yummy! please sir, can i have another?
(since i split a 6 pack with bridget, there are two more in the beer fridge... but do i try a new beer, of which i have many just begging to be opened... or do i stay with this ambrosia a while longer - decisions, decisions!)
the aftertaste has decided it for me
the hoppy goodness remains on my palate and is simply demanding that i have another
and who am i to argue with my palate?
