    Took the Feckin' Irish FH Dublin Pale (along w/ Bon Vivant & Nat's FH Hopricot from the cooler)...great dank nose & crisp body on that ale!

    Killer Red is out, Killer Green was delayed due to the nugget (?) hops not being ready yet.

    That Gigantic collabo was w/ the XOXO Fest, last weekend. Apparently they bottled some in bombers, as well! Fresh Centennial hops in a drier body than usual, for Gigantic (Pipewrench bombers @ Imperial, still!).

    After looking around a bit today, Gilgamesh seems to have gone big with Fresh Prince this year, lots of bottles and draft around town.

    Had a bottle of Three Creeks Cone Lick'r last night, then drafts of Base Camp FH Gnar and GoodLife FH Sweet As and 150 Hippies. Also snuck in another FH Wanderlust which I liked much better than last time. Cruxtennial still leads the pack for me.

    I bet that Base Camp Gnar is good...like the oats in the mouthfeel. I think my crowlers of the Wanderlust from GG are also slightly better than the 1st batch I got from Dekum. Nothing touches the unfiltered Simcoe from Milwaukie, two weeks from Weds, yet. Really diggin' this Hops & Kisses, too.

    Breakside is supposed to have their Mosiac fresh hop on tap tomorrow at the Dekum pub, or so I'm told.

    I can believe that, since their latest taplist is from the 14th...I'll be @ Milwaukie, after work, if it's updated.

    What was/were last year's version/s? This year it's Citra-Simcoe, which came out today, and Mosaic-Equinox, which I think is coming out next week. I can't remember if it was the same last year, though the Citra-Simcoe pairing does ring a bell (and seems to be the standard in the commercial description)...

    It's always been Citra-Simcoe. They added a Mosaic version last year and this year we've got a Equinox-Mosaic version. I wonder if they'll bottle it?

    The standard Cowiche is just super tasty this year. Must have been a good year for the hops.

    And strangely, my Chinooks are just now flowering here in Green Lake. Stupid heatwave.

    Went to Green Dragon yesterday and tried a lot of fresh hop beers.

    The Breakside was predictably fantastic.

    My favorite went to the Base Camp fresh hop Gnar Gnar. Looks like a few places in town have it on tap. Curious if everybody will like it as much as I did

    Happened to see the Base Camp on at a local growler fill station here, so I popped in for a tick. It was kinda middle-of-the-road for me, pleasant but not outstanding.

    Lowercase has a fresh hop pale. Looks like they're selling it in their "Loboy" crowlers, too.

    My girlfriend ordered one when we were at Naked City the other night. I don't want to bash it so I'll just say it missed the mark by a wide margin for me sadly. Vegetal with odd character that reminded me of spices you'd get in a pumpkin ale.
