A diabolically delicious West Coast IPA with wet Citra hops from Moxee’s-own Roy Farms! A SPECTREum of aromas, from hops’ danky secret agent cousin and Melon, to candy hearts and strawberry milkshake. From Yakima to Petaluma, from Petaluma to Yakima… From Moxee with Love! Playing exclusively on palates in Ballard and at Yakima’s Fresh Hop Festival.
Beverage Specs
ABV
6.3%
Beer math on ABV (Alcohol By Volume) is pretty straightforward… the Higher the ABV, the more alcohol in the beer. No rocket science necessary.
IBU
30
Generally speaking, a high IBU beer will have a more bitter taste than a lower IBU beer.
OG
1.062
The OG measures solids in the wort before fermentation to consistently arrive at the same alcohol content of a beer. Pretty neat, huh?
FRESH HOPS
These hops are fresh picked in Yakima, driven over the hill to our Ballard brewery, and added immediately into the wort, ensuring the highest lupulin-content of every little hop bud.
CITRUSY-NESS
Citra is an apt name for the hop as it delivers a whole bunch of various citrusy notes, from
orange and grapefruit to lemon peel and lime zest, amplified even further by the freshness of the buds!
Roy Farms
We’re lucky to call our Yakima farmers our friends, and the Roy family among ‘em for years. Located in Moxee, WA, Roy Farms produces some of the highest quality hops this side of the sun.
The unspoken rule of fresh hopped beers is they are to be added to the brew within 24 hours of being picked from the field, or as I like to say the “dirt-to-wort” time. As you may have guessed the fresher the better so being a brewer in Seattle I am a mere couple hours drive from the Yakima Valley where an overwhelming majority of the US hop supply is grown and is one of the largest hop growing regions in the world.
The hops in Fresh Hop IPAs aren’t the same as brewers use in year-round beers. Where those have been dried and kilned for use throughout the year, these just-harvested hops have little pockets of lupulin glands bursting with hop acids & essential oils full of terpenes—the flavor and aroma molecules—yum!
