Elliott Bay - Fort Road Fresh Hop IPA

Fresh hop beers are brewed using hops that are newly harvested, un-dried, and added to the beer within 24-48 hours. This preserves many of the delicate herbal and resiny flavors in the hops which would otherwise be lost in the drying process. In this case, finished bitter wort was transferred back into the mash tun where there was 75+ lbs of fresh Amarillo hops waiting for it, on its way into the fermentor.
