Reviews make it look like another love/hate hop. I don't like Apollo outside of bittering. ~18% AA is nuts

Got 4oz in the freezer but haven't gotten a chance to try them out yet. I take parentage with a grain of salt, but having said that I love me some Apollo.

Greetings Wort-H.O.G.,

I've used them for both a pale ale and an American style barley wine.  When I first tasted the barley wine, I was disappointed.  While spicy and piney, they also seemed garlicy to me; kind of like Summit and Belma seem to me.  That was at 4 weeks when I bottled it.  After 2 months (4 weeks ferment; 4 weeks in the bottle) that aroma and flavor was gone.  To me, they seem spicy, perhaps a little dank, and with a lot of pine notes.  I don't get any tropical fruit/any kind of fruit flavor or aroma at all.  I used them for both bittering, flavor, and aroma in this beer.

I also used them for a pale ale.  Similar flavor and aroma as the barley wine but more pine than anything.  To me, these seem o.k. for bittering but on the flavor/aroma side, I'm not a big fan of them.  I still have 8 oz that I'm trying to figure out what to do with.

Haven't used them. I'll wait on some other reviews before I buy some. Good to hear that the onion garlic thing ages out, but when I hear even loose comparisons to Summit, it's usually a negative for me.

Yeah, I know that I won't be using summit again, maybe unless for bittering which supposedly does not give the onion/garlic flavor.
