Fresh from Washington, Fresh Centennial cones from CLS Farms meet Roy Farms’ Bravo hops and Skagit Valley Malting’s Copeland Pale and Vienna malts; making this an exclusively Washington-grown ingredients beer! There is nothing like that first fresh hop of the year!

Crowler filled earlier today at Chuck's Hop Shop on 85th.

Pours mostly clear golden yellow, pretty good sized head, medium carbonation. Smell, I get more lemon than grass but some of both.

Taste is more on the hoppy side. Still totally appropriate for a pale ale. Some grainy malt and moderate lemon/grassy hops.

Mouthfeel is light and fluffy. Overall, nice fresh pale ale.

32oz crowler (canned @ Beer Junction 9/11/2020, presumably from a fresh keg) into a tulip. Pours a nice clear golden straw color with a big sudsy white head. Looks inviting.

Aroma is bright clean fresh hops—my guess is Amarillo and Centennial. On the dry side of juicy.

Taste is likewise hop-forward on a pale biscuity malt backbone. Nice clean acidity.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied and dry, very drinkable and refreshing.

Overall a very nice fresh hop beer.
