These ales or lagers are brewed with freshly harvested hops, typically no more than 72 hours prior to being added. Such hops might be undried fresh or frozen cones or ground material, or freshly kilned dried cones or pellets. Due to the large volume of plant material these beers encounter during the brewing and/or conditioning process, they should exhibit some perceptible chlorophyllic character, mouthfeel, and/or texture that should be harmonious with base style characteristics. These beers distinctly highlight the fresh hops used and are 57 typically consumed while fresh to maximize the bright fresh hop attributes. Aging these beers will typically modify and reduce fresh-hop characters resulting in unique flavor outcomes. Within the framework of these guidelines, Fresh Hop India Pale Ales are classified as Fresh Hop Beers rather than Experimental India Pale Ales. Competition organizers may create subcategories for ales and lagers, or which reflect groups of entries based on fresh hops in unprocessed, frozen, or kilned form.
