Roses By The Stairs Fresh Hop Hazy
“Fresh Hop - This is Growing Up” Fresh Hop Hazy IPA Brewed w/ @indiehops fresh whole cone luminosa, @yakimachief cryo fresh citra & cryo fresh krush 6.5% abv
Hops get harvested once a year. Usually they go straight into a kiln to be dried and pelletized for use throughout the year. Fresh hop beers skip that, the cones go from hop vine to the kettle within 24 hours, still green and wet, before they start to fade. It's a race against the clock, and it's the one of the best seasons in beer.
For this one we took our house hazy and blew it up. Fresh Luminosa flown in from Indie Hops farms and into our kettle within 16 hours, then a hefty hop charge of Cryo Fresh Citra and Cryo Fresh Krush right at the end of fermentation. “Cryo fresh” is one of Yakima Chief's amazing new products where they take just picked un-kilned cones and flash fresh them to seperate out the lupulin into pellet from. All the bright, green, peak-harvest character and minimal scheduled dictation. The end result is a drinking experience that makes you feel like you’re right in the hop farm. With notes of ruby red grapefruit, sticky lupulin resin, peach green tea, Wildflowers, Orange blossom honey. A truly unique expression of our core hazy IPA that you can only get once a year! MORE
