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 80

12 oz. Bottle. Pours pale/amber and clear with little to no froth. Smells of citrus, resin and lemons. A moderate bitterness is present during the swallow, the finish is fizzy and thin but very tasteful. The perfect IPA, the taste is complex and diverse. High recommendation.

My current favorite brand of my favorite style. I like this beer...a little too much. I could go on and on about its balance and beauty and big fat smack of ecstacy but I’ll just say, "BUY IT!" If you can’t buy it. I’m truly sorry.

Had this beer on CASK at HORSEBRASS PUB in Portland, OR. Amber color, casking creates beautiful lacing on the glass. Maple notes in the nose. "Aged" cedar aroma and bright floral hops. bitter, bitter, bitter, I want to homebrew a beer just like this one. Cascade?

CaptAnkeny (15) - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - MAY 3, 2008
A very hoppy, tasty West Coast IPA, my favorite type. One of the better, if not the best IPA, available in a bottle in Las Vegas. Plenty of kick and fruity/Hoppy after-taste. Very enjoyable.

UPDATED: AUG 5, 2009 On tap at Mac’s Place. Good Size head. Amber/Orange color. Sweet hoppiness up front. Bittersweet dry grapefruit finish and aftertaste. Tons of grapefruit and a little pine in this one, the malts are barely noticeable. Bitter finish ahd aftertaste. Medium bodied. Pretty tasty and refreshing IPA.

You smell the malt and hops on the pour and notice the beautiful crystsl clear dark amber color. The taste is just as the aroma suggests, a perfect blend of hops and malt. Tis leaves a bitter taste but the maltiness evens it out well leaving a bitter aftertaste. Inversion is smooth with a medium body and it leaves you wating for the next sip. A great brew worth a daily buy.

Pours rich, deep copper with a finger and a half of pale tan head. Smells citrusy with hints of caramel. Taste follows the nose, both citrus and caramel, with a strong bitterness to remind you that this is, in fact, and IPA. Full-bodied with a smooth texture and average mouth-carbonation, Deschutes Inversion IPA finishes with a calm lingering bitterness.
