Normally, I don’t expect my personal life and my professional life to intersect. But I recently wrote a review on RateBeer<\/a> of a beer I’d tasted for the first time. It’s a good example of agreed-upon terminology not really making logical sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(On tap at The Poacher in Burlington, Ontario.) I don’t like the terms “wet hopped” and “dry hopped” that the beer industry has settled on. Local Hoption uses fresh (non-dried), i.e., “wet”, hops as an ingredient<\/em>. It also has the character of a “dry hopped” beer (which just means that hops\u2014either fresh or dried\u2014have been added after the fermentation process<\/em>). It’s possible this beer is both wet hopped and dry hopped (or, in my own, less-ambiguous, terms, “late hopped using fresh hops”) but I don’t actually know what process was used.<\/p>

It has some of the grapefruit taste I would normally associate with citra hops, but before it has that normal assertive flavour, all taste “dies” on your tongue, leaving you without a lasting aftertaste. It’s crisp and clean overall, with a bitterness that threatens but fades away before delivering. I like it, but wish it were more successful. It hasn’t quite made up its mind what it wants to be. Nonetheless, I would happily enjoy many pints of this.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
