What am i supposed to do with Celeia?
« on: September 28, 2016, 01:34:40 pm »
I've inherited several pounds of Celeia.  Trying to get a feeling of the hive mind's feelings about this hop.  How'd they compare to Styrian Goldings?  How punchy/mild are they?
YCH says they have "noble characteristics." I'd like a more detailed description.

The flavor is pretty aggressive for a Slovenian hop. It's all lime and floral. Styrian Goldings are closer to noble hop character; celeia is pretty far away. It will be more noble if you blend it with something with a more herbal/earthy flavor like Opal. The best use for it I came up with when I bought some was a blend of celeia/aramis/cascade that I used in both an APA and a saison (with different ratios in each). Still not enough of a fan I would buy more.
