Northern Hemisphere drops you into a hop field, the beer’s profound flavor like strolling under the lush canopy. This year, we picked Centennial hops at their peak, rushing the harvest into our brew kettles the very same day to make a wet hop IPA loaded with notes of citrus blossom, rose, and pine.

Bottle from Total Wine & More, St Petersburg. Golden amber with a big cream-coloured head. Heavy on piney hop in the scene, with some mango and caramel. Lovely and strong. Taste is quite bitter, but not exceedingly so, and there are undertones of grapey sweetness throughout. A bit of a medicinal finish but it’s short-lived. Lingering resin in the aftertaste. An excellent little concoction.

12 oz bottle dated 28-Sep-2016. Pours copper with a lot of debris and an off-white head. Citrusy, piney, grassy hops and biscuity aroma. Piney, spicy, citrus hop flavors, some biscuity malt and honey sweet touch. A pretty nice flavor combination, really.

On Tap Deep redish amber witha thick dense creamy tan head. Quite a bit of color and woody maltiness for an IPA. PLenty of hop flavor and moderate bitterness. Some wet leaf brown paper bag flavors as well. Stury full bodied IPA

Sierra Nevada Northern Hemisphere Hop Harvest 6.7% Pouring a lovely amber gold with a creamy light beige head. This has a fresh minty woodsy hop bouquet with sweet caramel maltiness. Medium bodied with a sandpapery carbonation. The taste is sweet woodsy pine, green shoots and an impressive freshness. You really get these are wet hops. Fun to see this on tap in Japan.

Bottle from Ayotte’s Crystal clear deep golden color with a huge bubbly off white head that persists forever. Rich bready caramel maltiness Juicy earthy citrus and pine. Wish I’d picked this up a bit fresher, but glad to try. And 32 oz for 5 bucks is a hell of a deal.
