Deschutes: Hop Henge IPA


The first sip gave me goosebumps. This is a great IPA, not very sweet but has a good maltiness to it that isn't present in a lot of beers and shows in its amber colored body. The high alcohol gives it a bite (8.75%) and lingers after the typical aftertaste drops out. The hops (95 IBU) tend to coat the back of my mouth and gets better when it warms up a little bit. I'd recommend you get a bottle. They did a great job last year and they haven't dissappointed.
