HBC 472
« on: February 04, 2017, 04:09:53 pm »
Don't know how much have been available for sale, this ia an interesting hop to try:

Quote
It is a wild American hop that is unlike any other. It is a subspecies of hop called neomexicanus and is the result of open pollination. HBC-472's unique character is commonly described as "coconut and woody". This is predominantly the result of a higher-than-usual Caryophyllene content that comprises about 30% of total oils. Test batches of aggressively-hopped IPAs lent big "citrus and grapefruit aromas, but a fascinating whiskey/bourbon and coconut character break into the background." This oak and coconut becomes more pronounced in darker malt-centric styles.

Just bought some ounces and i am exited to try it specially with some porter or stout. Anyone can share any experience using it?
