Has anyone used this yet. My google-fu finds very little information on it.

Haven't tried it here either. There is a limited description on the Yakima Chief website. Noble hops with tropical fruits and Bazooka bubblegum? Sounds different, I'll give you that.

Is there a commercial example?

Is this jarrylo repackaged to try to make us buy it all over again?

I haven't heard of any commercial examples. Guess I should make a SMASH with it and see how it goes. I've never used Jarrylo, so I can't make a comparison.

My walk to brewery made a pilsner with locally grown Triumph. I was dubious at first, as it was a little fruity. With time the herbal character became to the forefront. I was really enjoying it when it went off the board.

Triumph hops grown in SE MI will be different from those elsewhere.

This is the case with Michigan grown chinook as well. I tried a smash beer made with MI grown chinook and couldnt believe how fruity the hop flavor was. There was little if any of the resinous and spicy character I usually get from PNW Chinook.

Thanks for the input guys. I did find one little blurb that said it is suited for "Lagers & Pilsners". I think a SMASH with weyermann pils and a clean lager yeast might be a fun experiment.

This is maybe the 4th or 5th time I've used them...pineapple!
