It's a running joke when we rub hops each harvest... "Yeah, I like everything about it... I just wish it popped more." It turns out that "popping more" can be an incredibly difficult thing to quantify for a sensory panel. The next brew in a series showcasing some of our favorite selected hop lots. In this case, Nectron from New Zealand put out to pasture with Cryo Pop, a blend of Yakima Chief Hops specifically for dry-hopping during primary fermentation.
