alan ferguson: Wow, so many fresh hop beers. I'd love to try it, oh well there's always next year.
Denise is drinking The Green Go Fresh Hop IPA by Panhead Custom Ales at Panhead Tory
Smells dank, resinous. Tastes of oily sweaty hops, grassy, leaves, lemonade. V resinous. Needs more flavour in the middle and more bitterness

Denise is drinking a Quantum Leap by North End Brewing at Little Beer Quarter
A bit of licorice/fennel astringency on the throat. Otherwise a tasty lager

Denise is drinking a Fresh Hop Riwaka Hazy IPA (2021 & 2022) by Sawmill Brewery at The Malthouse
Lemons, brown sugar, lacking bitter balance. A bit too brown sugar all around. I get why this is popular due to its sweetness, but it's not my vibe

Denise is drinking a Fresh HOPWIRED 2021 by 8 Wired at Bebemos
Smells of lemons, oranges, citrus pith. Tastes of earth, citrus, lacking balance and bitterness. Wish it wasn't hazy!!!!!

A bit astringent, a bit flat, a bit under-atenuated. A bit disappointing. It's not bag, but it's not the fresh hop wow you expect, not the clean xpa you expect
