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

16 oz. Can, Thanks to Tripplebrew. At the crack of the can I could smell luscious hops. Slow carbonation makes a full, fluffy white head with great retention. The smell of fresh hops is intoxicating. Awesome nose. Flavor is mild grapefruit, pine and a touch of floral hops. Body is medium. Very light bitter finish. Somewhat dry finish. I personally like the Citra hops. I NEVER would have guessed this came from a can. I would have said draft if I haven’t pored it from the can myself. My kind of IPA.

Can. One of the freshest IPAs I’ve tasted. Opened one week after being canned. Deep gold body. Fizzy white head, rapidly diminishing. Big aroma of raw, leafy hops. toasted grain, pine, resin. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and moderately bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately swet and moderately to heavily bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation. Simple IPA. Pretty much all earthy, raw hops and very little malts. Thanks Wes.

Can thanks to Kyle! Pours a clear amber orange with an off-white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of hops with a combination of grapefruit and pine backed by a bit of citrus. Flavor begins with grapefruit and is joined by pine and a bit of resin in the finish.

Very good, very fresh beer. Tastes like tap beer from a can. Pours a nice, clear copper color with a mid-sized, creamy foam head. Aroma and flavor dominated by fresh hops--piney, citrusy goodness. Nice bitter finish to the beer, which is otherwise very smooth-drinking.

16 oz pint can courtesy of tytoanderso. According to Ty, this was canned Monday! Pour is mostly clear golden with a nicely formed off white head that falls with heavy lacing. Tiny carbonation bubbles streaking to the surface. Aroma is floral grass, light lemon citrus, leafy resin. Some grapefruit in here as well. Taste is fresh resin hop, along with bright clear lemon citrus and finishing with the grassiness of the nose. There is also a pleasant sweetness to the lemon, giving it an almost pineapple taste. Additionally, lighter sweet cracker malt is present, also fresh and clean. This is really vibrant, hop freshness just pops. Palate is medium to light bodied, soft natural carbonation, with the dry resin finish. Really nice, thanks for getting this to me so quick Tyler.
