Description:
After several months of experimentation, energy and obsession, Deschutes Brewery’s brewers have triumphed once again. Inversion I.P.A.'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, Deschutes’ brewers used crystal and caraston malts that weave throughout the beer providing soft, complex caramel flavors.
Just like clear days up on the mountain, Inversion I.P.A. will deliver a path to higher ground. Inversion I.P.A. is a phenomenal NW-style I.P.A., beckoning all beer drinkers and enticing I.P.A. lovers to invert their world and find clarity above the routine of the everyday.

Appearance - 4.5
On tap at the brewpub in downtown Portland. It produces one finger of white head with great retention and lacing. The beer is clear with a deep orangish-red hue.
Aroma - 3.5
A little bit of caramel sweetness on the nose along with a good deal of pine and grapefruit.
Mouthfeel - 4.0
Light to medium in body with good carbonation.
Taste - 3.5
There is a solid caramel malt background throughout. The hops produce light pine, hints of orange, and a grapefruit finish. Moderately bitter in the aftertaste.
Overall - 3.5
This is a pretty decent IPA, tasted great and went well with my elk burger. Give it a try if you get the chance.
