Deschutes Fresh Haze IPA

Deschutes Brewery has never let me down. They brew some outstanding ales in many different styles, and Fresh Haze is no exception. It pours a hazy apricot hue, with a thin amber head. The 6.5% ABV puts in solidly in the IPA camp, with the 45 IBUs being in the low to mid range of a traditional IPA's hoppiness. There's a mixture of hop profiles, with a balance between piney and citrussy. The citrus manifests as lemon, orange and grapefruit with a little tangerine. Not particularly complex, but a good, solid IPA.
