This beer is one of a three way release in collaboration with Yakima Chief Hops. They have a new incredibly exciting hop product called YCH 301, which we first used in Software Update Needed. YCH 301 are fresh hops that have been flash frozen minutes from the vine, that have gone through Yakima Chief's patented Cryo Hops® process, removing leaf matter to give an unkilned, lupulin-rich fresh hop pellet. Fresh Simcoe has kept its juicy mango/tropical fruit character. Its usual sweet pine is a little drier and more bitter with some slightly herbal qualities.
