Hellbent Brewing announces release schedule for 3 fresh hop beers

 

It’s starting to happen. We are beginning to learn about the 2020 crop of fresh hop beers. Here’s news from Hellbent Brewing about the pending release of three fresh hop beers: Strata, Amarillo, and Citra.

Strata Fresh Hop IPA
September 14, 2020, at noon

Fresh Hop Strata [West Coast] IPA is brewed with freshly harvested Strata Hops from Oregon’s Willamette Valley, at Goschie Farms. These late-addition hops are used the same day they are picked. Once the beer has nearly fermented, it is then transferred to a “bright” tank where it is dry hopped with fresh Amarillo hops from Virgil Gamache Farms in Washington’s Yakima Valley, near Toppenish. The beer itself is a lighter style IPA, brewed with pale two row malt, Dextrin and Vienna malt, plus a small addition of flaked oats. In addition to the dank, tropical citrus and floral hop characteristics, there are grassy, herbaceous notes from the use of the fresh hops. It has 6.5% alcohol by volume.
