Palisade Hops - nope, actually they're Calypso
gmac:
A year ago I won a lb of these and they've been in the freezer, still vacuum packed ever since. I guess I best break them out and give them a try.
Anyone used these? What character could I expect if you have used them? I am going to do an APA with only 2-row, crystal and Palisade hops just to get a feel for the flavour. Given that no one ever talks about them, I'm assuming that they aren't a favourite. I know that there are profiles on line but how accurate are they (I never see Cat-Pee or Vomit or Feet on these as descriptors but I read it here a lot)?
Thanks

i read that they were like a high AA tettnager hop, so i used mine for bittering in an coffee porter (high abv) and i think it turned out real well. i thought it had a nice noble hop characteristic to it.

I haven't tried them myself, but from what I've heard they're mainly floral with some grassiness and (non-citrus) fruit. I've heard that they mix well with Amarillo, and work well in British Pale Ales. I say try them in a Pale Ale and let us know what you find :)

A great description - I thought it was very noble-esque with some citrusy character as well.
Our LHBS says on the website:
"Palisade This is a New variety with aroma of Fuggle and Willamette and can be used for both bittering and flavoring. Alpha acid 7.5 to 9.9% will leave your brew with a soft and clean finish. Ideal for IPA's and other strong hop styles."

No wonder I hated them!
