Last year, we brewed our first ever wet hop pilsner and HOLY SHIT HOW DID IT TAKE US THIS LONG. Following in the tradition, we brought in a brilliant friend - Natalie Rose Baldwin of Wayfinder Beer - to elevate this lager collab beer to the next level. A blend of pilsner malts, plus a bag of spelt to soften up the base beer so that we could load it up with both wet AND fresh kilned Tettnang from Goschie Farms. We gave it 5 cold weeks - young for us - but when you’re working with wet hops, freshness is of the imperative essence! We get notes of lemon zest, fresh cut grass, & cucumber peel upon a rounded, leafy mid palate and minerally, crisp, dry finish.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Tapped, Mill Creek. Clean and clear golden pour. Quick fading head, light appearance. Always on board for the fresh hops finding their way into a non pale ale. Aromatic with biscuit grain and fresh grassy and lemon like hops. Very easy drinking and flavorful lager. Top notch collab.

On tap at Cloudburst - Shilshole, pours a clear pale blonde with a medium white head. Aroma has lots of toasted grains, biscuity malt, and a touch of gritty grassiness. Flavour is crisp, with grassy hops, moderate bitterness, and crisp crackery malt. Wouldn't have guessed this was fresh hopped. But it's solid.
