Brewed only once each year to coincide with the Hop Harvest in Yakima Washington, High Tide IPA is made with 180 lbs of Fresh Hops per batch that are plucked from the vines and sent straight to our brewery. We skip the whole drying and processing stage which means the hops are ultra fresh and full of flavors we can’t normally get. Like grapes, Hops are only harvested one time each year and as such, we make what we can when we get them.

Amber colored, cloudy, medium off white head. Aroma is of caramel malt, tropical fruits, some flowery and also peppery notes. Taste is medium sweet, caramel malt background, biscuit, tropical fruity and floral, some pine, medium+ bitterness. Dry finish, lasting bitter aftertaste. Medium bodied and carbonation. Not the freshest bottle so the hoppy aroma is not that overpowering compared to the malt. Have to repeat this one.

Hazy golden with a white head - Hoppy aroma with citrus - Good malt body to support a hop profile with a huge grapfruit flavour - The grapfruits from hops goes into the finish - A little to much grapfruit for my taste, but still a nice beer

Bottle, 650 ml from Svije Piva. Shared with Miro. Cloudy yellow, dense white head. Fruity aroma, with a hint of boiled eggs. Fruity, citrus, hoppy flavor with great lasting bitter finish.

Bottled 650ml. -from Svijet Piva Zagreb. My bottle shared with Yves, Fran and Marko. Cloudy orange coloured, big white head, mild grapefruity nose. Moderate malty, grapefruity fruity hoppy and light herbal with intensive bitterness in the finish and long lasting bitter aftertaste. Decent IPA.

Huge thanks to Ogi for getting this one! Seem slightly too old for the style, but hey, 4-5 months? Poured an ochre-orange nice murky body with a medium sized thick white head. Sweet passionfruit/mango aroma, well integrated in the malty background. More of the same in the taste - lovely tropical fruit & maltiness, coupled with a good herbal bitterness. Not very fresh, slightly heavy, but hey, it’s far from a sticky malt bomb. The herbal bitter aftertaste builds up and up... overall, very respectable, not thrilling (would’ve loved to try it fresh though), but a very, very good IPA nonetheless.

A hazy, slightly orange beer with a blond, slightly clouding, and big head. Pretty. Aroma has mangos, pineapples, generic tropical fruits, some papaiyas, nice fructose and grapefruits. Enjoyable, tropical fruits sallad without anything more but that’s not bothering. Taste has mangos and some papaiyas, more grapefruits than in the aroma, pine needles. The bitterness is nice and strong, aromatic, piney with some resin in the end. Long lasting and piney bitterness. Medium bodied, nicely smooth to drink. Tropical fruity but also strongly bitter IPA. Great beer.
