 Thanks for checking out this episode of brutal battle beer break as you can tell I look a bit disheveled for this one I was actually just at the gym maybe about an hour or so ago got a steak cooking behind me back there What better to go with steak and a bit baked potato, which we're making as well then some beer I'm going hoppy because you know me love the hops This entry is from to shoots brewery out of Bend, Oregon I've had I believe one other to shoots thing on the brutal battle beer break, which I think was our hop in the dark black IPA So the chase and fresh ease is what we have It's a fresh hop IPA with mosaic hops, and I'll tell you I can see all sorts of sediment in there So liquid fried hops basically is exciting alcohol is 7.4% alcohol by volume and it actually has a best buy date on here And we're a little past it so I'm hoping it's still really tasty. We'll find out But thank you so much to shoots for doing a best buy date Bottle date best buy date whatever so there's the label for chasing fresh ease. Oh Very cool, huh? All right, let's see how this stacks up Already see some of the sediment just flying out into my glass. Oh, yeah, you can see it See all the stuff just floating in there. I don't know if you can tell or not But it's very yellowish looking little orange ish tinge to the yellow Definitely stuff floating in there Smells very citrusy getting like a Little bit of like a light caramel mixed in with the citrusiness it's like a juicy orange or like a little bit of like Clementine juice added to that as well But definitely smells very juicy with just like the slightest bit of like a caramel note on in which I feel like for me mosaic hops Typically give me that kind of like bit of like a caramel II under undertone for it It's basically all I can get it. It smells pretty vibrant for being past its best buy date. Yeah Still good still good I'm assuming it was probably even more citrusy At the time of the bottling or even, you know, maybe a month ago or so was still pretty citrusy I'm getting that caramel that a little bit of carameliness on the finish But getting a whole lot of like hot bitterness on there a lot of kind of like juiciness Clementine slash Orange a little bit of that kind of like the rind flavor to go with it From that Clementine and orange Yeah, it's good. This is it. This will be good to go with my steak and potato So anyone out there interested in what they've heard of this beer. I would recommend it is interesting. I know my Sister-in-law Emily said it's probably her favorite offering from Deschutes once again, they're chasing fresh ease fresh hop IPA people try it But try and get it fresher than then I got it. So sorry to shoots. I didn't do it justice But mosaic hops always good hops. Anyway, thank you so much everyone for tuning into this one and go grab yourself a beer
