Deschutes Li'l Squeezy Juicy Ale.5% ABV. 40 IBU.
Deschutes Brewery, Bend, OR.
It's interesting how trends and their adherents lead the way. You may notice that the label of this can does not refer to the beer inside as a pale ale, but as a "juicy ale." It's not an IPA, which is the style that the juicy lovers are chasing, but they perhaps wouldn't pick up on the pale style. Just call it "juicy ale" and you've got 'em. But, wait, it's not a "hazy"? Alright, juicy is close enough.
Clear, bright golden color, slim white head.
In the nose: soft and citrus. Pinch of lemon.
In the mouth: Bracing bitterness first greets the palate, then swiftly fades back. Juicy malt texture. Easy squeeze, lemon peasy. Nice and drinkable, with a lasting hop bitterness. You know, I'm a little surprised by this. It's a pale ale version of Fresh Squeezed IPA, but I didn't think it would be so darned tasty. Well, why would I think that, Deschutes rarely misses.
