Nice clean amarillo hop aroma and flavor...lemons, oranges and a bit of a vegetal impression. Drinks more like a pale ale and a good one. Lightly carbonated out of a can. Very light butter cookie maltiness seems to obstruct at times but in the end it all comes together..

Nothing bitter but just more of a nice hop juice flavor...enjoyable..

This, sadly, is probably my only wet hop beer of the fall. Happily, (I’ve never tried this brewery, before) it is a pleasant surprise…and Amarillo (these are from the willamette valley, apparently) has always been a fave that seems underutilized, so, bonus.

Pours a clear golden amber, with a little 1/2 finger head, minimal retention but good lacing. Nose is delicious and dense and musky orange citrus and oily juicy warm woody spiciness. Taste is similar profile, solid, but not the same depth, and doesn’t really feel quite as fresh and dank as the nose suggests. Moderate to low carb, and not a lot of zippy liveliness, but sits nice.

A single wet hopped IPA featuring Amarillo hops. It pours a mostly cleat light golden color , Smell is dank,musty and tropical. Taste has oranges,melon,appricot and papaya. Mouth feel fresh and dank, Solid offering.
