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.

Lilly and lemongrass bouquet. Hazy amber, firm thick head. Lillies and grass. Slightly vegetal celery finish. Light body, moderate carbonation, resinous. Probably good fresh, but this sample had some flaws that are starting to show.

12 ounce bottle. Light golden pour is topped by a massive bubbly, rocky white head. Clinging lace. Fragrant pine hop nose. Sweet grainy malt is balanced by the robust hop bill. Notes of pine and grapefruit upfront. Some tropical notes as well with pineapple and melon. Peppery hops in finish. Dry bitter aftertaste. A decent IPA.

On tap at alefort pours out straw color topped with a white head. Nose is lemon citrus floral hops and some sweetness. Taste is more of the nice hop combo and light malts.
