Damp 25.02 is here and it features a metric shit load of fresh hops.  We used over 200lb of fresh wet Simcoe, Pink, and Citra from Gooding Farms and Jackson Hop Farms in Wilder, ID.  These hops wet hops were shredded and added to the hot side of this West Coast IPA a mere  7 hours after they were harvested.   We also used freshly dried Citra, Pink, and HBC109 (now called Dolcita) in our pressurized hopback on the way to the fermenter.   After fermentation we then dry  hopped the beer with a brand new product from YCH called Cryo fresh Simcoe.  You might remember we used a similar test product for So Out It’s in almost  3 years ago.   They are taking fresh wet hops and pelletizing them under super critical temperatures and storing them frozen.  They get overnighted to us and we add them to the beer the same day.   This allows us to add hops that haven’t been dried on the cold side which preserves their fresh, wet character.    This beer bursts with incredible amounts of tropical and citrus character.  Notes of orange mamba chews, mango, and fuzzy peach skins.   It’s bright, clear, dry, and incredibly drinkable for it’s ABV.
