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. The verified alcohol strength is published above; no numeric bitterness was found.

Research Notes
Field pass 2026-10-13: 2026 Untappd release verifies ABV and Citra, Mosaic, Mosaic Cryo and Simcoe hops, including fresh Mosaic from Coleman Ag. It reports N/A IBU; no brewery-domain beer page was verified.
Second pass 2026-10-13: No readable specifications for the 2026 release were found. The Peaks and Pints article is dated October 1, 2025, and detailed Untappd results concern 2024 or 2025 releases. A search result names a 2026 release, but the opened venue page did not contain it; older harvest values were excluded.
Two likely brewery domains failed: vicebeer.com redirects to a domain for sale parking page, and vice.beer refused the connection, so no brewery URL could be verified.
The session web search budget was exhausted before this beer or the brewery could be searched, so Untappd, retailer listings and press were not reached.
No 2026 medal announcement from the brewery was found.
Researched 2026-10-13.
Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the description on file comes from Untappd and is not extended; the brewery site has no page for it.
