We decided to add these cold side as the major component of the dry hop rather than the more traditional approach of adding them to a hopback hot side. Expect the usual fruity, dank pungency from this Yakima Fresh Hop (WC IPA 6%), but with an additional hit of field fresh aromas and depth only wet fresh hops can achieve! Cheers!

Can at home picked up from HOTM probably. A clear golden orange coloured pour with a loose sticky white head. Aroma is piney hop, woody bark, some weedy hop. Flavour is composed of dirty grassy hop, bark , weed, woody hop, Assertive dirty woody weedy hop, Palate is semi crisp, moderate carbonation. Disappointing.
