Double Mountain releases 4 Killer Fresh Hop beers
As annual tradition dictates, Hood River, Oregon’s Double Mountain Brewery & Cidery has released their fresh hop beers Killer Red, Killer Green, and Killer Juicy. Only this year they also experimented with a fresh hop version of their winter seasonal Fa La La La La, which is limited to draft only at their two taprooms. Each year, the brewery drives their reefer refrigerated truck to the hop farm and grabs hops straight off the bine and rushes them back to the brewery to be made into some killer beer.
All three beers are available now in refillable 500ML bottles and on draft at the Hood River Taproom, SE Portland Taproom in the Woodstock neighborhood, and at fine establishments throughout Northwest.
Killer Green 7.3% ABV 96 BU
On this harvest moon, we bring you a blast of fresh hops like only Double can do. Centennial picked and packed in the Willamette Valley came straight from the bine to the boil. These juicy little pearls deliver visions of bright evergreen, blood orange, currant, and lush pine. Be Green. Drink Killer Green.
Killer Red 7.0% ABV 85 BU
Hops from the Willamette Valley are picked, transported, and put into the brew on the short side of two hours. The exorbitant amount of fresh Centennial whole leaf hops heaped into the kettle and hop back give this juiced up IRA a wonderful ripe apple, juicy forest, and fruited pine flavors and aromas.
Killer Juicy 5.4% ABV 25 BU
Fresh Strata hops pour into a dense tropical rainforest dripping with the sticky, delicious mango, ripe summer peach, light cannabis, and deep orange. With hops this fresh, the decision to make this beer was the right decision. Clearly.
Killer Fa La La La La 7.5% ABV 85 BU
“Christmas came early! We got a few extra fresh hop Centennials from Crosby farms, and we figured, hey, why wouldn’t ya? Bright evergreen and citrus zest ride on a sleigh of Pilsner and Crystal malts. Too soon? Nah. Extremely limited.” Available for a limited time at both taprooms.
“Sticking over eight pounds of the freshest Willamette Valley hops in each barrel of our 2021 ‘Killer’ beer series. Welcome to flavor country, Double Mountain-style.” -Matt Swihart, Owner & Brewmaster.
