Fresh Hop season has begun.

I had the Mirage Don’t Play last night up at Ridgewood and it was… not good? Bitterness I can do but this was astringent in an unpleasant way. Real shame as I usually love their fresh hop beers.

I had that at Ridgewood on Wednesday and didn’t think it was nearly as astringent. It was pretty bitter on the finish but there was a lot of cantaloupe goodness in there, too.

The Pint Size fresh hop was pretty fantastic, though. Damn shame they’re shutting down.
 
Saw Ruse began their first fresh hop brew today. The season is upon us.
