You are about to drink a wet hop beer -- brewed with American hops so fresh they've never had the chance to dry out. Day 1: picked. Day 2: shipped. Day 4: tossed in the brew. The only delay from the field to your glass is the time it takes for fermenting. The hop varieties vary, but you can always expect the intense resinous character that only comes from the fresh hops. This ain't a beer for aging. The beer quickly loses its aromatics. So invite your friends over and enjoy this West-Coast Style IPA ... now. 2011 vintage: 100% Citra hops

Can, thanks to Finol. Pours orange with a creamy white head. Lychee, gooseberries and grass notes in the aroma. Very fresh and green. The taste has also got lychee and gooseberries notes and is well balanced with some grapefruit-like bitterness. Well balanced. Thirst quenching. Stable.
