Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA

The last of the crop of IPAs that I picked up last week, Fresh Squeezed IPA by Deschutes is an ale that I've sampled many times, but just haven't had the opportunity to do a review yet. And, following the trend of increasing IBU counts, this one clocks in a 60, with a 6.4% ABV. Fresh Squeezed IPA pours a orange-ish hue with an off-white head of about a finger and a half. Despite the high IBUs, it doesn't come across as particularly bitter. There's a nice combination of piney and citrus hops, along with floral notes and tropical fruit. As it warms, apple and pear become evident. As with all Deschutes beers, Fresh Squeezed IPA is a top notch ale and rates an IGB score of 9.0.
