A Citrus Bomb Landed On a Skunk

Posted by MT Beer Man on 4th Dec 2012

The headline really says it all. If you like an explosive grapefruity citrus flavor with an absolute brain melting amount of skunk to it this is the hops you need.

I used it in a single hop IPA 91% 2 Row, 9% Crystal 40, with 1oz @ 60, 2oz @ 5, 2oz @ Flameout. Out of the bag and in the fermenter it's just an unbelievable aroma of sharp citrus with skunk and a bit of dank. It keeps this aroma straight through to the keg where your first response on smelling it will be, "WHOA!" There is a bit of onion/garlic. If you're sensitive to that flavor I'd go easy on the late additions.

All in all I found this to be a truly unique hop and the closest thing I can compare it to is Summit hops.

Dominant aroma/flavor(s): Grapefruit Citrus
