In the order Cloudburst Brewing lists them: Good Problem DDH West Coast IPA | 6.8% ABV | 65 IBU We keep running out of WCIPAs. So do our accounts. They say that’s “a good problem to have.” IS IT REALLY THO?! ‘Cause it seems like we’re missing out on an “opportunity” to sell all of you more deliciously dank, brightly tropical, sharply resinous, brilliantly clear, and assertively bitter DOUBLE DRY-HOPPED WEST COAST IPA. But here’s the rub...

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.
