Commercial Description:
After months of experimentation, energy and obsession, Deschutes Brewery’s brewers have triumphed once again with their newest creation - Inversion IPA. Inversion’s trio of American hops delivers an over-the-top nose with hints of orange and grapefruit. Inversion is then dry-hopped for seven days resulting in an added hoppy kick. To balance the hop character of Inversion, Deschutes’ brewers used crystal and caraston malts that weave throughout the beer providing soft, complex caramel flavors. Inversion IPA is smooth and delicious. Just like clear days up on the mountain, Inversion IPA will deliver a path to higher ground. Inversion will be available year-round starting in early April on draft and in 6-packs. Inversion IPA is a phenomenal NW-style IPA, beckoning all beer drinkers and enticing IPA lovers to invert their world and find clarity above the routine of the everyday. Alc. By Vol. 6.8% IBUs 75

Bottle: Pour looks look, red-orange IPA look. Aroma is mellow but clearly hoppy. Has bubble gum, sweetness, herbal and fruity.

bottle-deep amber color, little head.First taste-spice flavor, different than most IPA’s. half point-Little to no head left, flavors are holding up nicely. finish-This beer grew on me as it warmed, it’s complex, new flavors you dont normally find in an IPA, and i give this brew props for trying something new. Overall i was impressed with the complexity, but i like my IPA’s more traditionally.

A solid, if not spectacular, IPA. Not a bad beer, although a little too strong to be reasonably sessioned.

The hops come through a beauty on the nose along with faint orange. This was not as in-your-face as a usual american ipa but managed to peak my interest all the same. Got some caramel from the taste and hoppy bitterness that still isn’t too in your face.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is dry pinewood hops. Dry fruity and pinewood hoppy. Smooth caramel malt base. Light bitter and medium dry with a lingering smooth malt base into the far finish.

12 oz bottle. The aroma and flavor are almost reminiscent of barleywine. Malty in the nose, good balance between hops and malt in the taste. Good, interesting IPA.
