In the order Cloudburst Brewing lists them: Bad Idea, Right? IPA | 6.7% ABV | 50 IBU True story: Olivia Rodrigo was recently talking to Steve on the phone, and she said that we didn’t have the GUTS to brew an IPA with a hop bill of Citra, Sabro, Talus & Zappa. Yes we know that these hops wreck, but can’t a hop bill reconnect? We only used them just a speck, the biggest lie we ever said. Yes we know that these hops wreck, but can’t a hop...

New to hop talk? What these words mean
- Bitterness (alpha acid)
- How much bite a hop gives when it's boiled. Under 5% is gentle, 13%+ is a bruiser. It's why a West Coast IPA snaps and a pilsner doesn't.
- Aroma oil
- The smelly part of the hop — where the citrus, pine and tropical fruit come from. More oil, more punch when it's added late or dry-hopped.
- Myrcene, humulene…
- The main oils. Lots of myrcene reads fruity and resinous; humulene and caryophyllene read woody, herbal, spicy.
- Aroma / bittering / dual purpose
- What brewers mostly use the hop for: smell, bite, or both.
- Fresh (wet) hop
- Hops straight from the field into the beer, same day, never dried. Only at harvest, late August into October.
- Cryo, CGX, LupoMax, Incognito
- The same hop, processed: concentrated powder or extract, for more aroma with less vegetal taste.
