COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
During Colonial times New York State was the Hop Capitol of North America and was poised to become the largest producing region of hop growing in the world...but then came prohibition, and with the loss of the brew came the loss of the hop farms in this area. Recently farmers in Central New York have started to reclaim old hop farms and have replanted this once top crop. Each year we travel to these reclaimed farms and gather hops fresh from the vine to brew Hopicity. It uses all fresh "wet" hops that are no more than several hours off the vine giving us the richest, resiney, most floral flavors

Pours rich gold color. Little bit of hopy aroma but not strong or overpowering. Taste is strong bitter and malt comes through strong perhaps too much and more so than the hops.
