Wet hopped. The hops are the opposite of wet, while dry hopped, yea... the opposite of dry. Wrap your mind around that little nugget. You back to reality yet? Ok.. let's go
Jack's Abby - Mom & Pop's Harvest Series: Wet Hop Lager
a 5.2% ABV 13 IBU Wet Hop Lager. OK, guys.. here's a little bit of brewing 101. Wet Hopping is when super super fresh hops are added to the beer. Not dried, not pellets.. most are picked and added to the beer within 48 hours. I know Surly makes sure their hops are added within 24 hours.. so huge hop profile.. right? WRONG This has a very subtle hop aroma, more grassy and floral than anything, beneath a golden yellow pour and rather large, pure white head. Hay and honey water are also present on the nose.. This is very light and watery.. the hops aren't all that present in the body and those that are, aren't overly impressive. It tastes a bit hay-like and stale, despite being less that 3 weeks old. I can't quite place this.. but something is just off.. tart, dry, watery, barely any bitterness to the finish.. macro-ish
