When your hop supplier tells you they have a great hookup to work with some French brewers, you say yes. Why you ask? Have you ever seen The French Connection? This beer is going to blast off, absolute dynamite. Brewed with Brasserie Du Pays Flamand and The Piggy Brewery from France, this is a double fresh hopped IPA. Together we used Sodbuster Farms fresh Simcoe hops and then dry hopped it with Fresh Cryo Hop Pellets from Yakima Chief Hops, making this quite possibly the first double fresh hopped beer.

taster at Loyal Legion. hazy golden, small white head. Aroma is fruity and citrusy. Taste is juicy citrus with a mildly astringent edge. Full feel, tasty AF.

Enjoyed on tap, at the source.
Fresh hopped with Simcoe, 2022 season.

Pours a glowing gold. Light aroma with that tasty Simcoe note on the finish. The sip follows, with a touch of that smokey tobacco character that I find in Simcoe-dominant beers.
