green bullet hops

Post by bod » Sat Apr 21, 2007 5:49 pm

i was just in my LHBS and found these green bullet hops from new zealand, so i bought them to give them a try. i've never seen them before and i'm not down there very often so i took the gamble! :lol:

anyway, i found this about them.
A sleek smooth hop which has averaged over 12% alpha over a number of years and its aroma qualities match its excellent bittering power as New Zealand Breweries have proved in their award winning products. Green Bullet has been likened to giving a Styrian style of flavour to the beer as it gives a pine/lemon crispness and an excellent aroma.
could be interesting in a Bitter and Twisted style ale! :D has anyone tried these before?

I haven't yet but I've got some in the freezer. They sound interesting as a standard high alpha hop.
