This hop harvest, the seasoned big-city brewers from Seattle’s Cloudburst Brewing made the trek over the Cascades to team up with the farm kids from Bale Breaker to brew Citra Slicker Wet Hop IPA, a fresh hop beer that was first brewed two harvests ago. While it took the Cloudburst team over two hours to get to Bale Breaker, the hundreds of pounds of wet Citra and Loral hops picked fresh from the fields that morning traveled just four minutes from farm to kettle. Heavily dry-hopped, while light in color and body, this beer is all about these fresh, farm-grown hops!

Crowler fill from Growler Guys. Aroma is strong grapefruit, cat piss, orange, onion, lemon. Pours bright golden with a long-sustaining off-white head that leaves curtains of lace. Taste is light to medium bitter, lightly sweet with lots of citrus flesh and pith flavor. A little too softly carbonated than I’d like (crowler issue?). Super good, but I remember the first version from a couple years ago being even better.
