To craft this fresh hop, tour de force, we’ve simultaneously harvested fresh hops from two valleys in two states on the same morning, combining them into a single kettle that very afternoon…dream big, right? Fully hop-forward with rich tropical qualities, this flavorful blend of fresh Willamette Valley Mosaic and Yakima Valley Simcoe hops is an Imperial IPA that’s double the trouble and downright delicious. This is a collaboration between Crux & Bale Breaker. 65 IBUs

Rated 2-8-2019. Don't really remember anything about this beer other than the fact I like both breweries and I gave it a high score. I love fresh hopped beers also and this one was really good.

16oz can poured into 14oz teku. Poured a clean, clear medium-dark gold color with 3/4 inch of white head that good retention and lacing.
Big hop aroma, mostly dank and funky, with just a bit of citrus in the back ground, and a hint of malt.
Same on the tongue, light grain supporting that funky hop combo.
The body was typical; medium, smooth, and had a semi-dry finish.
Drinkability would depend on how one feels about these two varieties of hops, it wasn't my favorite, but still good.
Overall, an interesting Fresh Hop beer. certainly worth trying if you see it.
