Ingredients

Nothing is published for the fresh hop version. The base King Crispy Pilsner page lists Tettnang, Sterling and Mt. Hood hops with Pilsner and CaraPils malts (Deschutes product page); which fresh hops replaced or joined these is not stated, so none are recorded in the structured fields.

Brewing Details

Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for Fresh Hop Beer calls for prominent fresh hop aroma and flavor (green grass, fresh mown hay or other fresh hop attributes) from hops added soon after harvest, usually within 72 hours, with malt, bitterness and color following the underlying style. No published specs for the fresh hop version exist to compare.

Research Notes

• Field pass 2026-10-13: Additional 2026 release searches found awards but no harvest-specific ABV, IBU, hops or brewery beer page.
• Second pass 2026-10-13: No specifications tied to the 2026 harvest were found after brewery-domain, Untappd, ABV, BeerMenus and medal searches. The readable Untappd hit is explicitly the 2024 vintage, so its values were excluded.
• The seasonals collection and page 1 of 4 of the all beer collection do not list a fresh hop King Crispy; later pages were not checked.
• The base beer page does not mention a fresh hop version, so the link between the two is inferred from the name only.
• The session web search budget was exhausted before taproom menus or press could be searched.
• No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the King Crispy page describes the base pilsner only, and a search found no fresh hop release notes or farm for this beer.
