Deschutes Chasin' Freshies

Brewery: Deschutes

Name: Chasin' Freshies

Style: American IPA

Available: October - December

ABV: 7.4%

IBU: 60

Recommended Glassware: Pint Glass, Tulip

"Like fresh powder, it’s a seize-the-moment thing. At harvest, we rush Goschie Farms' Cascade hops fresh from vine to kettle. Not any Cascades, mind you, but an heirloom strain, from a single field, restored from the original rhizome. Hope you’re as hopped up as we are." - via Deschutes

Appearance: Pours a clear golden color. Very thin white head that disappears quickly.

Aroma: Smells of grapefruit, citrus and orange. Very nice.

Taste: Tastes basically like it smells. Sweet upfront and mild bitterness towards the end.

All in all a pretty good beer. I honestly prefer their other Fresh Hop IPA, Hop Trip over this. Too bad this beer is only offered during Fall/Winter because I can see this beer being very good on a hot Summer day.

Serving Type: Bottle
