Day 106, October 27

The Offering: Deschutes, Chainbreaker, white IPA. Oregon

ABV: 5.6%

I was told by an Oregonian friend to try another Deschutes brew as he was disappointed that my Day 96 review of the Hop in The Dark was only so-so. This is round two and we're a little above so-so.  Keep in mind this was straight out of the bottle so some of the characteristics may not have had a chance to develop.

Even out of the bottle the Chainbreaker has a good citrus nose.  I get more of the "White" than the IPA on the mouth.  There are no really bitter hoppy notes, it's mostley wheat and a lot of spice.  There is definitely a yeasty undertone throughout and it finishes on the dry side.  This is a nice refreshing brew.

Points: 84

Thanks to Libby and Mike

Cheers

  2. I plan on drinking the Full Sail as well. I have good memories of it but we'll see how it fares in comparison to the recent brews.
