Jason Ingham: Lines up with my thoughts from last night. Seems that going for balance has been a theme this year, so the fresh hop hit has been harder to detect.

I liked this one - a good green dank vibe (from last night)

Adrian Schofield is drinking a Fresh Hop - Face Off: Aftermath Late Harvest IPA by Boneface at Untappd at Home
Very tasty, but a little confusing - says fresh hops that on the front, but on the back refers to “late harvest pellets.” So not using fresh hop cones?

Adrian Schofield is drinking a Gesundheit Kölsch by 8 Wired at Untappd at Home
Not bad, but perhaps not as crisp as I usually like in a kolsch. This was the nearest glass I could find to a kolsch tube after my kolsch glass from Germany got broken recently
Purchased at LiquorLand
Jason Ingham: Hmm. Tokyo dry meets kolsch? Not sure the geography fully works? Nice photo though.
Adrian Schofield is drinking a Hop Chop Fresh Hop NZ IPA by Panhead Custom Ales at Untappd at Home
Not bad, but outshone by others this season. Slight sweet perfumy taste
Purchased at LiquorLand
Jason Ingham: Agreed. I think this one might also be on tap currently at my local Liquorland. Seems to me that being good is no longer enough. Need to be both good and distinctive.
Adrian Schofield is drinking a Waifly 12 Fresh Hop IPA by Baylands Brewery at Untappd at Home
Very nice. Dank and hoppy, herbaceous
Purchased at LiquorLand
Jason Ingham: The global score is above 4 so that says a lot. Clearly a good offering from Baylands.

Jason Ingham: I think pilsner is a good style for fresh hop. Sounds like you enjoyed this one.
