    Just finished a pint of Boundary Bay Citracalifragilistic. Nice citra flavors. Worth a shot if you see it.

    Loyal Legion has a ton of FH beers on tap right now, more than 15. I drank way too many of them last night but my favorite was Breakside's Stay Fresh. Most disappointing was probably Buoy's FH Pilsner which somehow tasted like oysters.

    Just wanted to let you know there is almost (completely) no Fresh hop beer on the coast yet. And that I hate you all

    No idea. Hopefully both, but I’m happy with either.

    A little late on this, but my highlights from the Hood River fest were:

    Sunriver Green Initiative
    Silver Moon Hydrosphere
    Allegory Fresh Threads
    Culmination Wet Hop Momentary Lapse of Reason
    Ordnance FH EOD (Sabro)
    Breakside Sterling Pils

    I even got to try the first 3 listed in cans/crowlers this week to confirm outside of the festival atmosphere. If you see any of ‘em, buy with confidence.

    Agree with most of these, though wasn't too greatly impressed with the Breakside pils. The green initiative and culmination were in my top three as well (along with the three creeks cone licker).

    Was annoyed that the Breakside fresh beast keg didn't show for the event.

    finished one a bit ago, and was mildly disappointed. Not the huge hop blast I was anticipating. Still a nicely enjoyable brew though.

    On my way home from work, stopped by Georgetown to pick up a growler of Fresh Hop Bodhizafa. $12 out the door, including a glass growler (I didn’t bring an empty), which I thought was a crazy good deal.

    The nose is fresher than normal without being too “green,” the taste is saturated with ripe tropical fruits without being “overripe.” Overall, the flavors are brighter and fresher than normal, while maintaining a satisfying hint of bitterness to balance things out. Highly recommended.

    Have a new favorite fresh Hop beer for this season. Uprights Fresh Hop Saison was just fantastic based on what I had at Belmont Station. Also Ferment's was quite good as well.

    Just got home from FH Fest down at Oaks park. Best things I had...
    Culmination FH Phaedrus (no surprise)
    GN FH Ripe (although I like the regular ripe more)
    Crux way too fresh (9.9% abv! )
    Deschutes FH (forgot the name)
    Allegory FH sour
    Sunriver FH
    Montavilla FH
    Sasquatch hazy FH (pleasant surprise!)

    Overall, great lineup with variety of styles and flavors. Also, the lady playing music was great.


    Now home watching AZ st. Vs. CAL and drinking Culmination FH momentary lapse of reason. Quite excellent, just like last year.

    I had a pFriem Fresh Hop Centennial IPA at New Seasons tonight. Fresh hop character was good, and it was full-on old-skool bitter from start to finish. Made me happy. (Would make your average haze-bro cry.)
