This is our first time brewing with fresh or “wet” Pacific Northwest hops (that were overnight delivered from Hopunion LLC), and since they’re only available once a year, this is an extremely limited, one-time-only batch that will not be widely distributed to bars or restaurants.

Had on tap at Home restaurant in Branford poured into a snifter glass on 11/27. Comes out a clear copper color with a small head that leaves some spotty lacing. Smell is a good balance between bready and sweet malts with some dank and piney hops. Flavor lets off a bit, the hops are about 40% compared to 60% malts. Bready and sweet with some fruit, hops are dank, grassy, hints of citrus. Feels a bit too heavy for the ABV and is a bit undercarbonated for an IPA. Overall a let down considering this should be pretty fresh and wet-hopped. Nothing off-putting just OK.

Lovin' this one. Brilliant clarity, nice head, decent lace. Nose is a fine balance of lightly sweet and bready malt countered by a huge tropical fruit happiness. Taste a is rich malt body balanced by a depth of hops that must be experienced to be appreciated. Chewy breadiness, earthy hops with the tropical flavors from the nose. Feel is medium heavy for a pale ale, gently carbonated with a tingle on the tongue. Great take on a pale ale. The wet hop additions make this a real winner.
