Ya, the Centennial has already come and gone unfortunately (post is from September 4). Looking forward to trying the Chinook, though.S. St. Jeb wrote:Great Lakes announced two.
Speaking of Chinook, the Collective Arts WH is a nice delicate showcase of that hop, with subtle notes of melon fruit, earth, cut grass, and a little dankness. Also dig the oily mouthfeel and bone dry finish. Ordered at 10:30 in the morning and arrived at 4:30 the same day. Colour me impressed.

Innocente just announced their Wet Hop is out next week.
I used to sell beer. Now I don't.
Cheers, I've ordered some Great Lakes Chinook. Any early reviews?
Royal City have their Community Brew out, which is made from fresh hops grown by random people around the city: https://royalcitybrew.ca/collections/20 ... unity-brew
I have no way to know, but I speculate that they would top that up with other hops to make the final beer.

So I'm finding the Great Lakes Chinook Wet Hop just Ok. I think they deliberately choose a very subdued malt/yeast base to showcase the hopes , which would make sense. However, I don't get much hop aroma at all. Perhaps some spicy pine but very faint. The taste has that grassy taste that I expect with fresh hopes but again, the taste is quite faint and I think it is predominately bittering that is coming out of the hops (though not unpleasant). So, a nice pale ale with a delicate hop profile but nothing world beating.

Ditto. I am enjoying the Collective Arts Wet Hop a bit more. Bine Hunter was the best of the three, by a wide margin.alsiem wrote:So I'm finding the Great Lakes Chinook Wet Hop just Ok.
Picked up the Rogue Coast Haste Imperial Hazy IPA and despite the LCBO's IPA aging program, it's quite good. I didn't realize until after I'd bought it but it's a wet hopped IPA and it's loaded with fantastic fruity tropical hops. It has that full, viscous body that's typical of today's hazy IPAs- the profile reminded me a bit of some Third Moon stuff I've had- a bit dank alongside the intense fruitiness.
Considering it was canned 9/12, I was impressed and say it's worth a shot for the time being.

Ha, I had that in my hands on Monday and decided not to get it because of the canning date.
Yea, I would normally skip it at that age but for whatever reason I had a good feeling about it. I can only imagine how much better it was fresh though.Craig wrote:Ha, I had that in my hands on Monday and decided not to get it because of the canning date.
