Пиво Alpha Hop Society 2022: Wet Hop IPA - Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.

Nearly 300 pounds of Simcoe wet hops, picked at Perrault Farms exclusively for the Alpha Hop Society, traveled at warp speed down to Chico and into our pilot brewhouse. We followed our monster kettle additions with two loops through the hop back — yup, recirculating from the whirlpool for a second pass with more hops — which cranked up those mega-fresh cedar, mango, and herbal green notes like you’re right in the field. A dash of cold-side Citra lupulin rounds out this harvest dream, and its bitterness is balanced masterfully by the delicate sweetness of Pale and Munich malts. Recommended aging time: Fresh, now, don’t wait!
