Cowiche Canyon

FRESH HOP ALE

Cowiche Canyon Fresh Hop Ale is brewed from select organic hops grown in the Cowiche Canyon of the Yakima Valley which are harvested and placed into our kettle within 24 hours, creating a unique, once-a-year beer. We make Cowiche Canyon ale in partnership with hop-growing wizards from the Yakima Valley in an effort to expand the organic hop industry in Washington State...Because Organic Hops Matter! A portion of all sales fund the Cowiche Canyon Conservancy.

Down & Dirty: 2-Row Pale, Munich, Pilsner, and Organic C-20 malts, with FRESH Organic Simcoe and Citra hops. Organic Citra, Citra Cryo, and Simcoe dry hop.

Bold citrus and stone fruit lead the way with grapefruit, orange, and peach. These aromas are layered with subtle hints of tropical fruit, berry, and melon. Followed by grassy aromatics, touches of biscuit and cereal, and a light pine character. The flavor balances gentle sweetness with a clean, refreshing bitterness. With medium body, tingling carbonation, and a smooth, mouthwatering finish, this beer is both vibrant and easy to drink.

Availability: Late September, harvest dependent, limited
Fresh Range: Drink AFAP (as fresh as possible)
