Fuggles & Warlock – Chrono Wet Hop IPA Review
The wet hop brew to come from Richmond’s Fuggles & Warlock Craftworks is an India Pale Ale called the Chrono. This beer has 66 IBUs and comes in at 6.9% alcohol. Coming in a 650ml bottle the Chrono pours as a crisp golden colour and is topped with a finger and a half of dense and lacing head. The Chrono emits an aroma that is strong with fresh-hoppiness. As far as fresh hop beers from 2016 go, this one has one of the most intense fresh hop aromas of the bunch. Citrus, pine and grass take over the aroma with a light orange-peel tone to go along side. The flavour isn’t quite as intense as the nose but a strong fresh hop tone comes in early and leads into a fairly bitter middle and finish. The grassy notes join the pine-bitter flavour in a bitter and fresh fashion. All in all, this is a well crafted IPA that does a solid job of representing what fresh hops are all about.

This was one of the only Wet Hop beers I really enjoyed last year. The wet hops actually worked well.
