Farm to Brew within Hours!
Craft brewers understand that the quality of ingredients matters. The fresher the hops, the more flavor they add to the beer. As a result, brewers in central California have paid high premiums to have fresh hops shipped overnight from other states. Despite that, the time from farm to brew is often 48 hours.

It is earthy with mild citrus tones and higher oil content, making it an especially good hop for bittering in fresh hop beers. Alpha acid 13- 17%.
