Deschutes Inversion IPA

Bottled. Pours copper, with an orangy tan head. Nose is citrus, resin, with floral notes. Flavor is malt and citrus. Finishes with a big, wonderfully bitter hop ending.

In the bottle from Total Beverage Denver. Pours dark amber with a large off-white and yellowish head consisting of huge foam bubbles. Has a deep aroma of pine-like hops. The strong bitterness with a solid malt backbone really stands out in this beer. It has a long lingering bite on the tongue. Delicious.

Poured a copper-amber hue with a medium-sized white head. Big hops araoma that lingered. Light and crisp while being very refreshing and quaffable. Resinous warming finish. Glad this one took over for Quail Springs IPA.

12oz bottle; amber in color slight haze with a small head. aroma is of hops, flavor has a good amount of hop flavor through the beer.

Pours a light amber. Massive sweet citrus on the nose. Taste of sweet malt swept by light hops. Finish is very nice with mild hops.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one. Creamy off-white head over a cloudy orange/amber body. Fragrant hops, light fruit aroma. A nice dry finish follows a smoothly bittered yet solidly malted start.

Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Hazy amber color; creamy head. Nice hoppy aroma, a bit resiny. Medium mouthfeel, with some good malt and caramel, some sweetness, well balanced (and more) by the bitterness, some resins. Good IPA (American), but straight, without special interest.

Pours light brown with close head. Aroma is faintly chemical and a tobacco-like whiff. Straight bitter is predominant flavor with some orange, caramel and honey. This last note detracts. Palate is average, unremarkable. A good beer if you are in the mood for bitter.
