For the Fresh Hops issue of Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine® (Issue 8, Aug/Sept 2015), Jack Harris of Fort George Brewery (Astoria, Oregon) provided this recipe for their wet-hops India pale ale. Says the website, “Fresh IPA is like beer in 3D—without those silly glasses. Expect hints of citrus, resin, and fruit to flood forward, followed by a piney, earthy complexity.”
