Beer Profile

Locals Only Fresh Hop IPA

This Fresh Hop IPA is brewed using locally sourced, undried hops harvested from the Bonny Doon and Soquel Hills regions. Poured with a moderate haze, the beer showcases the unique, vibrant character of fresh hops, delivering an intensely zesty and green aromatic profile. The flavor profile is clean and bright, featuring notes of fresh-cut grass, pine resin, and citrus peel, distinct from traditional pelletized hop bitterness. At 6.1% ABV, it offers a medium body and a crisp, seasonal finish that highlights the ephemeral nature of the wet hop harvest.
