Quick update for everyone on this hop -
Used it in an AIPA as a FW hop and then at 10 min, 5 min, 0 min, and 2 oz for dryhopping. Decided to dry hop with other hops as well simply because I too was unimpressed with the aroma profile upon opening the bag and during the boil, and upon tasting my FG hydrometer sample.
This experimental hop IMO has a very dank, resinous quality to it. It came across as earthy, and spicey with low characteristics of subtle oranges/lemons and even some faint tropical fruit (mostly pineapple, but very minimal).
The heavy oils in this hop make it better suited for a bittering addition rather than in use for aroma or flavor contributions as it can quickly overpower the delicate nature of better aroma hops that are more typically enjoyed in a delicious IPA.
So, all in all, use this one as a bittering or FW hop and maybe in small amounts to boost spicey components or increase the dank resin factor in your finishing hops.
Cheers to all!
