Commercial Description:
Part of the Bond Street Series. This Fresh Hop Pale Ale is all about celebrating the hop harvest in the fall. Fresh picked hops have to be added to the brew immediately and in abundance. Roughly 270 pounds of Crystal hops from Doug Weathers' farm outside Salem, Oregon will be added to the 50 barrel batch in addition to some dry kilned whole flower hops. That adds up to approximately 5.5 pounds of hops per barrel brewed.

Bottle from 08 enjoyed sometime in 09... oops. Pours a sticky glowing orange with a big frothy off-white head. Aroma is nice and wort-like, caramel, sticky, piney, some tropical fruit, peachy, mango. Flavor is chewy caramel, tropical fruits, papaya, mango, peach, light pine. Slightly syrupy body, quite sticky.

Pours copper and clear. The aroma is floral and sweet. Tastes like cascade hops with a sweet then bitter aftertaste.

Pours brown with red to copper hue, Little lacing that disappears quickly, nose is small with hops faint, hints of pine with grassy over tones. Finishes clear and crisp. Nice little beer.

On tap at Papago. I have to echo the comments of bigbish -- "I don’t know, I guess I just expected some hops". Pours copper in color with a soft white head. Smells distantly of pine. Tastes really pedestrian for a Deschutes beer -- light in body and flavor. Mild with hops, citurs, and malt. Bummer.

Served at Tom Douglas Beer and Brats event. I am not an IPA man at all, but I really liked the Hop Trip. Enough sweetness to balance out the not-overly outrageous hop content.
