Wet Hop IPA

Cryo Fresh Torpedo

The first nationally available IPA to use Cryo Fresh™ hops for that just-picked, powerhouse flavor. Exclusively in the Hoppy Sampler pack.

“This is the closest you can get to walking the fields, picking a hop, and rubbing it in your hands and smelling it.”

– Sean Lavery, Sierra Nevada Technical Innovation & Brewing

The Details

Cryo Fresh™ Torpedo^® freezes hop harvest in time. Hops are most intense right when they’re picked, but they fade fast. So the innovators at Yakima Chief Hops (YCH) set out to keep them fresh, forever.

This is the first nationally available IPA loaded with Cryo Fresh™ hops, officially named YCH^® 301 Trial hops. Using freshly picked hops — undried (“wet”) and straight from the field — YCH runs a patented cryogenic process to separate the hop cone and isolate the jackpot inside: pure lupulin, the source of aroma and flavor. Stored at subzero temperatures, Cryo Fresh™ hops make a wet hop IPA possible, anytime.

For Cryo Fresh™ Torpedo^®, we designed a special blend of these pioneering hops for extreme notes of passion fruit, citrus, and harvest magic.
