We’ve dosed the Widomaker IPA with insane amount of Yakima Chief Citra and Mosiac Cryo Fresh Hops! Cryo Fresh is derived from the concentrated lupulin of fresh whole-cone hops. This unique product captures the vibrant flavors and aromas of fresh hops, without the grassyness of your typical fresh hop IPA.

Opaque, thick head. Bright grapefruit and salmonberry, modest bitterness…seems sweet even for Widowmaker.

Opaque orange, small white head.. Big cat pissy citrus nose. Palate is more fruity than dank, somewhat thin. Very light late bitterness

On tap at The Magnet. Pours opaque yellow with a white head. Super dank nose with notes of orange citrus. Flavour has a ton of dank, oily hops, light-to-medium bitterness. Full-bodied, a touch chalky. Not getting a huge fresh hop character, but I do like the hops here.

Poured from 473mL can. Cloudy blonde with small white head. Very similar to Widowmaker, not really necessary to do a fresh hop version. I enjoy Widowmaker though so happy with this. Citrus hops, some hop burn, a touch leafy fresh hop, feint chalk.
