Through the magic of 'cryogenic separation', 2022 fresh hops were frozen to preserve the finest of aromatics only to be reawoken in this beer.

16 oz can picked up at Tapped. I believe only the second brewery I've ever had a frozen fresh hop brew from, and this one works just as great as the other. Really nice balanced flavor with biscuit grains, and a cool piney hop character. Starts off very clean, and had me surprised this was borderline imperial. Somewhat aggressive pine note shows a little strength late with some melon. Exceptional IPA overall, and have learned to not expect anything less from these guys.

473mL can, pours a clear blonde with a medium white head. Nose brings out bright piney hops, crisp biscuity malt, and a hint of citrus -- I would never guess there are revived fresh hops. Flavour is wonderfully vibrant, with potent piney hops, some dankness, light citrusy, and crisp biscuity malt. Again, wouldn't have guessed these were revived fresh hops. Assertively hopped, piney, crisp, moderately bitter finish. Really great blonde WCIPA.

1/XI/22 - 1Pt. can from a trade, shared @ ElManana’s place, canned: VIII/24/22 (2022-1430) Thanks to Aaron for the trade!
A little cloudy bright yellow beer, small creamy white head, unstable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: oh my, lovely, very dank, marijuana, onions, sweet tropical fruits, juicy, nice, very intense! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: nice, good bitterness, citrus notes, pretty dank, hoppy, grassy, some grapefruit, good! Aftertaste: juicy, bitter, nice, pretty fruity, citrus, grassy, very good!
