That's funny... I have pretty much that exact beer on the schedule for next month. I just got a bunch of 1 gallon jugs so I'm going to do a series of mini batches for all the hops I have that I'm not too familiar with. Calypso is on the list. I'm working on a couple of hop blends so I'm thinking this may work in my fruit bomb blend.

I used them as a single hop (sparingly) in a Saison. I thought they worked rather well. I'll do it again.

Ended up doing an IPA with Galaxy and Calypso blended.  I found them to have very little aroma when I opened the package.  1 oz of each at 15, 5 and 0.  Probably won't dry hop it.  If I like it, maybe a single hop next time.  Just don't want to do 5 gals with no idea what to expect.

I just used Calypso as one of the 7 batches of single-hopped APA's I brewed yesterday. Had a real distinct aroma that was unlike any of the other hops I used. It was definitely fruity, but had an herbal/earthy quality to it as well as a bit of an aroma that reminded me of fresh-picked tomatoes. I'm very curious to see how this one will turn out.

gmac:
Decided to dry hop 5 gals with1 oz more of each. Or maybe 1 oz of one in one carboy, 1 oz of the other in the other.
