Brewed with our pals @grandfirbrewing that showcases fresh Chinook hops from @colemanagriculture and @indiehops
We took a little bit of a Southern California approach to this beer and it's just plain awesome. The pilsner and 2-row malts give us a dry, but light body to support this bright and balanced beer. Fresh Chinook was added to the hot side, as is tradition, to get lots of oily lupulin goodness out of them. We then gave it a little dry hop with Chinook, Mosaic and a dash of Mosaic Cryo.
Bright raspberry, lemony pine, pineapple rind and a hint of white truffle can be found in this scrumptious IPA.
Cassidy is named after our punk rock pal from Grand Fir. He is always upbeat and filled with positivity, especially when he's behind his drum kit. Make sure to go check out his band @oldcrossband They fuckin' rip, just like this beer!

16-ounce can purchased at John's Marketplace in Beaverton, OR. No date stamp, but this was likely canned 4 days ago (09/16/25). Enjoyed in a Becher glass.
Look:
The beer is bright yellow gold with daisy yellow highlights and a touch of haze. A cap of white foam shrinks quickly to a thin skin and an uneven collar, and leaves minimal lacing.
Smell:
The nose is a banquet of grapefruit: pulp, pith, and peel. A gust of pine follows, along with a spicy woody note. There's also a whiff of underripe stone fruit and a subtle undertone of some fresh dark green leafy vegetable.
Taste:
The flavor starts with fresh grapefruit and candied grapefruit peel, followed by pine on the breath. There's a burst of lemon zest and floral/herbal licorice in the middle. A splash of mango nectar. A spoonful of grapefruit marmalade. (Is that a thing? I would buy that and eat it straight from the jar.) The finish opens with pine sap and--joy!--a formidable raw lupulin powder bitterness. It ends with pine needles, grapefruit juice, and the spicy woody note from the nose. The dark green vegetal note in the nose is nowhere to be found in the flavor.
Feel:
Body is light-medium with brisk carbonation and a gentle hop burn. Majestic fresh hop burps.
Overall:
I learned last year that I really like Chinook hops in my fresh hop beers. This is a terrific display of fresh Chinook goodness. Sweetness is moderate at best, and enhances the sharp citrus and bold pine flavors. And that spicy woody character is just delectable. There are also fresh Mosaic hops in this beer, but they kind of take a backseat to the Chinooks, and honestly I'm good with that.
