Get ready for one of the Top Ten beers in America, one that ranks right up there alongside Pliny, Hopslam, and Heady Topper in Zymurgy Magazine’s reader poll. It’s Deschutes’ Fresh Squeezed!

This fan favorite IPA scores a 4.26 on BeerAdvocate for its fruit-forward showcase of the juicy side of Mosaic and Citra Hops. It rose to stardom for its years before the haze craze and it’s still a favorite nationwide for its super citrusy juicy powers.

A deep pillow of foam floats over a tremendously juicy-looking, clear dark copper pour. Sweet orange marmalade bubbles up to your nose. The sweetness of grilled grapefruits tickles the tastebuds, leaving a hint of bitter pith. Lemon peel and herbs spread out over the tongue, leaving a smothering, long-lasting imprint of citrus and pine resin.

Hang out in the beer aisle near Fresh Squeezed and strangers will recommend it as they pass by. It happened to me! Everyone who likes the citrusy side of hops owes it to themselves to try this perennial favorite.

4.26 on BeerAdvocate!
