MugiFresh hops?! Hops have a season too? Are they really like just-picked vegetables?
Hop BroThat’s a pretty good comparison! Fresh hops are used soon after harvest, and they often give beer a juicier hop aroma than dried hop pellets.
MugiWow! So it isn’t just bitter—it can smell fruity too?
Hop BroExactly. Expect notes of melon, berries, citrus, and herbs—a layered aromatic profile that can make a glass disappear fast.
MugiChasing aromas sounds like detective work! But I thought IPA meant a big bitter beer.
Hop BroThis one differs a little from a typical American IPA. It also has soft malt sweetness—malt is the grainy base of beer—so it’s about hop and malt balance.
MugiGot it! It’s not bitterness showing off alone; aroma and sweetness are on the same team. I could definitely try that!
