I prefer hops that sorta punch you in the face, I tend to prefer dry hopping and even dry hopping at the table. I feel like such a fiend.

I hadn't ever heard of wet hops before, so I did some reading after Collette posted. Evidently, there is a difference between wet and fresh hops. Wet are to be used within 24 of harvesting while fresh is within 7 days.

Interesting stuff!

For those that don't know anything about it:
