Endeavour. New UK variety. Where can I get some?

[jmc]

In October, Tring did a special brew called 'Sapper' that used a hop called Endeavour.
See http://www.tringbrewery.co.uk/Specials2012.html
This got very positive feedback from some friends.


Quote from British Hop Association

Flavour and Aroma
Complex blackcurrant, loganberry and spice notes best describe Endeavour’s aroma, with a wonderful grapefruit and lime flavour. It is gentler than Cascade.

Bittering Characteristics
With what’s been brewed so far, well rounded and fruity is a good description of its bittering characteristics.

Flavour Intensity 7/10

About this Hop
Endeavour is a new wonderfully citrusy Hedgerow Hop that is creating a lot of interest and excitement. It has good storage stability.

Breeding
Bred at Wye Hops in the UK, this is still on farm trial and has not been released for commercial growing yet. It is a cross between Cascade and a Hedgerow Hop. It is wilt tolerant and appears to be tolerant to powdery and downy mildews.

I'd like to get some, but sounds like its not available to home brewers yet.

Anyone know where I can get some?

sounds fantastic

Probably still on trial...

Endeavour (selection code 15/2). This variety is currently on farm trial and has had major success in brewing trials.

Shame sounds good!


Hope this one makes it for release soon

Every time I see a new unusual or experimental English variety I want to buy it. Sovereign, Beata, Flyer and now this.

I was even considering seeing if we could get a group buy going for some of the experimental hops from Charles Faram.

Unfortunately I currently have a freezer draw full of hops that I need to use up first.

I know exactly what you mean. I did a stock take the other day and it confirmed that I was way over stocked with hops. This meant that I was starting to brew beers to suit/use up the hops I have rather than brewing the beers I want. I have started selling some off and planning my brews for the rest of the year so that next year I start with a new slate...

If youre interested in new English experimental hops, keep a look out over the next 12 months for a variety called Jester. It was developed at the same time as the likes of bramling cross but at the time was considered too bitter & citrusy for the British ale industry so was shelved. Now the industry has changed and citrus hops are common place, its being trailed again. York brewery recently brewed with it but its apparently super hard to get hold of, even for the commercial brewers.

Charles Faram is going mental with new varieties. For years, decades even, brewers have been saying they can't use any new hops, unless they're cheaper or store better - the last thing they wanted to change was the flavour.

Ive had a beer with Jester in it. I was very unimpressed. But... I was unimpressed with all the beers I tried that night so it could've been a taste bud thing. I'd like to try it again. I remember at the time thinking it didnt rival US hops by any means (which is why they named it Jester) which is a shame.

+1 to having too much hop stock.
Problem compounded by eviction from freezer space by SWMBO
Need to use up stock before garage gets much warmer.
