Deschutes Inversion IPA

With a tilted glass and a gentle pour, the Inversion IPA still produced a two finger head bulging over the rim of glass.  Still bubbling from its pour, the body of the beer shows off a deep amber color, dappled with suspended, unfiltered sediment.  Inversion's scent projects smooth malts blended with a light, crisp, hoppy bite.

Inversion has a taste that can best be described as smooth.  First, sharp hop notes blended with light caramel and citrus hints claim your palate.  After swallowing, a sweet grapefruit aftertaste remains.  

This is a good blend.  The smooth flavor and drinkability mask Inversion IPA's 6.8% alcohol very well.
