I get a big pineapple hit from this hop. If you handed it to me without prior knowledge I would probably guess Citra.

Re: exp 366
Real time tasting going on here, the beer is a bit warm so getting a caramel nose from the malt. Keeping at it and now getting a marmalade hint.
In tasting I'm getting plenty of citrus, but have to disagree on the Citra comparison, its not as powerful. There are grapefruit and tangerine notes coming through with a dash of vanilla.
At the end the bitterness just goes on and on, but it's not in the least bit harsh, you just know you have drunk it. Could easily have a large curry with this one!
Not really a session beer at 5.6% but it's damn good all the same.
Even if I do say so myself, its a very good example of a true APA. Oh and I really like this hop.

I was that home brewer in Kent mentioned in the article. Made some cracking beers with that hop (still have 200g in the freezer, but don't tell anyone)Jocky wrote:

I hope that'll last at least two months so that when I'm ready to order he'll still have some?jimp2003 wrote: Maltmiller has about 90 packs in stock so that should keep people going for a little while at least...

Re: exp 366
I highly recommend you crumble it in search for seeds, as I did with UK Flyer. You can fast-track your own hops breeding program with any resulting seedlings.

Don't worry, the crumbled bits will still be worthwhile for brewing. I expected the alpha-acid bitterness potential to be deteriorated, but my brew still came out plenty bitter, actually. I suppose what I'm talking about is less violent than pellet production or the latest "blitzing" trend...
