I posted last week about Deschutes Brewery’s latest beers coming out, including Royal Fresh Imperial IPA, and yesterday three bottles arrived at the doorstep. As a reminder, Royal Fresh joins the “Fresh Family” series that started with Fresh Squeezed IPA. Here’s the blurb from the press release:

“Royal Fresh has all the big, juicy hop character of a traditional Imperial, but we were less concerned about hitting a 90-100 IBU mark, making it a very drinkable Imperial,” said Director of New Product Development for the brewery, Veronica Vega. “Using 5 pounds of hops per barrel, Royal Fresh includes 7 different hop varietals (Mosaic, Centennial, Cascade, Amarillo, Citra, Cashmere and El Dorado) with hop additions at 6 different stages of the brewing process.”

Based on its popularity at Deschutes’ public houses, Royal Fresh IIPA is now a year round offering across the brewery’s distribution footprint available in market this September. At 9% ABV​ and 70 IBUs, ​this new brand for Deschutes will be available in 6 pack bottles, 19.2 ounce cans, and on draft.

Fresh Squeezed is a really good IPA so I have high hopes for Royal Fresh.
