    I caught up with FH Bodhi last night. Just phenomenal stuff, IMHO. I've rated around 200 IPAs and double IPAs on BA, and this is right at the top of anything I've ever had.

    By the way, some of you who are having FH Bodhi should rate/review the beer on BA.

    There are only three ratings. One was from February of this year, which seems like a really weird time to be finding any fresh hop beer on tap, and the rater didn't like it at all. And one rating is from 2017. The result is that the ratings for this beer don't seem to match the collective opinions of those who have mentioned it on this thread recently.

    Tbh, lets keep it this way. This is the charm of the NW beers. We (for the most part) don’t hype or even rate most beers around here. I can 100% guarantee that any of us that have access to FH Bodhi will not check BA reviews before ordering. If you know you know.

    Speaking of which. Here is another excellent FH beer that probably won’t even get a profile created on this site. Block 15 Fresh Catch at Loyal Legion

    Had to come to Denver to get it, but I snagged Cloudburst Yakima Caviar today. Citra’s easy money, and the Cloudburst fellas collected on it.

    Watching some baseball with a Hobo, while another hobo is at GABF. Just cracked open a can of Bale Breaker Citra Slicker. HOLY DANKOSITY BATMAN! Canned 9/30/19. Serious hop juice:

    I only have 2 "rockstar" brewers. I've met Tonya, but not G.O.

    Agreed with Terry: Citra Slicker is as dank as it is delicious.

    I look forward to a can of Matchless x Skookum The Freshmaker tonight.

    Thanks to hobo BBQ, I've been catching up on some FH brews. Up now; Kulshan FH IPA. No other details on the can:

    Made with random, donated hops. Grapefruity, with some sweetness and a little bit of a vegetal flavor.

    I am flying home this morning, after a week in a place which has no fresh hop beers.

    I will need to accomplish the following tasks, in this order:
    • Hug Mrs. vurt.
    • Dole out pets and skritches to our cats.
    • Drink several fresh hop beers.

    If your cats are anything like ours, I'm not sure they'll agree with your set of priorities.

    Otherwise... welcome back! :sunglasses:

    At Belmont Station trying silver moon hydrosphere, crux way two fresh and culmination fh phaedrus. All good, but the silver moon is the easy winner in this grouping.

    Am washing them all down with some 2017 coffee cinnamon Bbomb (which is absolutely superb).

    I agree, it's pretty rough. Trying to persevere

    Now drinking a 3 magnets float on. This is a fh beer? Talk about a weak effort. Trying to think of an adjective that best describes it and finally came up with one. Lame.

    Very happy I only got a 4 ounce glass of this. Less to dump down the drain.

    Having a can of Crux Way Two Fresh (Willamette Mosaic & Yakima Simcoe). Kind of a funky hop combo, kinda dank in the musty basement way.

    I've never been a fan of three magnets recent showings, but I had a fresh Hop beer from them two years ago that was legitimately awful. Little Juice Smoothie Fresh Hop I think.
