Brewed only once a year at the peak of hop season, this beer was made with 450 pounds of freshly picked, "wet" Sterling hops from Goschie Farms in Silverton, Oregon. The hops were only 3 hours from the vine when they went into the kettle. The mash tun was also used as a hop back, holding 300 pounds of hops! This beer features an emphatically floral, spicy, grassy aroma with a firm malt background and an assertive, snappy hop finish. Produced using Oregon-grown barley malt, one hop variety sourced exclusively from Goshie Farms, one yeast strain from Wyeast Laboratories in Hood River, and pure coastal water, this is truly an all-Oregon, elemental beer!
