We were so impressed with this year’s harvest in Yakima we decided to brew 2017’s anniversary brew with our favorite hops from the trip: Roy Farms Chinook, Roy Farms Centennial, and Black Star Ranch Mosaic. Aggressive kettle and dry-hopping will showcase notes of pine, resinous hop character, and tropical fruit. Slight haze.

(Bottle) Golden amber colour with frothy, white head. Malty, hoppy nose with grapefruit, pineapple, honey, lemon, dried fruit and a touch of sponge cake. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of grapefruit, pineapple, apricots, honey, lemon, dried fruit and a generous citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced IPA, with a good hop presence and quite bitter. Nice one.

12 ounce bottle from, because, fuck Wine Warehouse with their tons of out of date shit. Best by 12 June 2017, bought last week, I will bump up the score to account for any loss of quality due to age. Gusher, Hazy yellow, large foamy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of earth, resiny hops, pale malt. The taste is earth, resiny hops, dill, dandelion, pale malt. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness.
