What is your favorite beer? - Page 70 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

I just had Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA a couple of days ago and highly recommend it. It's super citrusy. It's a summer seasonal available in bombers only.

I just visited the thread to post about this. Probably the best aromatics of any summer beer I've tried. At just 60 ibu, the hops weren't nearly as present in the taste. Still a great summer session beer. A friend and I knocked out 6 bombers in one sitting.

Has me really eager to try more beers that use Mosaic and Citra hops. Is mosaic proprietary?

Sierra Nevada Kellerweis is one of the few really good American made Hefeweizens and should be widely available.

Paulaner and Weihenstephaner are very good traditional German Hefes.

Word.

This beer knocked my socks off. Bought a 22 on my way home and immediately drove back to the store for two more after trying. Not SO amazing but super drinkable.

Deschutes FTW.
