🎶 Fresh Hopped Vol 1 Lyrics:
I’m a first-year hop, called cream of the crop.
My lupin, in bloom again, so don’t go busting my chop.
Cause I’m fresh off the bine wet, dripping, and hot.
My bitterness will get you tripping with the acid I drop.
I Got Flavor, aroma, a one-stop shop.
Put the oil in the boil just to make the wort pop.
Yeah, you thought I was rot, but I can’t be stopped.
Let’s get fresh-hopped!
