Ours is definitely a close-knit community, and this delightful collaboration pale ale proves it. Brewers from Cabin, Last Best Brewing and Bale Breaker Brewing in Yakima, WA who all worked together in Calgary once upon a time wanted to get together and brew one more beer. One quick hop across the border for hop harvest and the deal was sealed!
Border Hop West Coast Pale Ale features the wonderfully aromatic experimental hop HBC 586 and "frozen fresh" Mosaic hops from Yakima Chief Hops. The oxymoronically named product sees raw, unkilned whole cone hops plucked from the bine and then flash frozen. This process helps retain the delicate nature of fresh hops, even for those hundreds of kilometres (miles for those south of the border...) from the hop fields. Expect bright notes of mango, nectarine, guava, lychee, and a hint of berry.
This beer is great for sharing with your buds - but if you want some, you'd better hop to it. Like the hop harvest season, this beer is limited and will go quick.

Clear golden yellow pour with scant finger of bubbly white head.
Exceptionally cold on opening - citrus and piney hops to start, but as warmed a touch a green dankness hits with bursts of tropical fruit, melon, tangerine, and a floral note.
Crisp clean pale malt on the palate - tropical fruit, tangerine, a hint of peach and a dank piney hop hit at back - there is a gentle building crisp bitterness with hints of candied citrus peel.
Crisp and clean medium mouthfeel with brisk carbonation and a bright sharp finish.
