I got two 1oz packs of these hops from Austin Homebrew in a bundle
awhile ago. They're listed at 13.5% AA, which is distressing to me.
I'm not a hop head, though we're all beginning to drink hoppier
pilseners around here. So I decided to give it ago in a black lager I'm
making from leftovers.
What I see fairly universally is that they're a high-AA aromatic hop.
The best indication of any odor or flavor I got from it is "chunky"
bitterness.
I did half an ounce as FWH, and found the initial part of the boil had a
piney overtone. Does that sound about right?
Does anybody here have a good description of the taste and aroma of this
hop?
