Like fresh powder, it’s a seize-the-moment thing. This year we’ve chased down fresh Centennial hops from the Goschie Farms in Oregon. At harvest, we rush the hops from the vine to our kettles to ensure we capture the purest, juiciest essence of the hop flower in every beer. Enjoy the bright, bold aroma and flavor that comes but once a year.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark golden color with an enormous creamy orange-white head that lingered forever and left excellent lacing. The aroma was tart, citric, semi sweet, tangy and a touch piney. The flavor was bitter and rather rough with citrus, fruity hops, a bit leafy and had a touch of sour mash. Long finish. Medium body. Ok.
