Re: Boadicea
You can get single hopped Boadicea golden ale in m&s. I really liked it.
It's spicy. Damn, now i need to order some.

Re: Boadicea
I was fortunate enough recently for ArmChair to review my Bitter - it is single hopped with Boadicea.
I think it is a lovely, mellow hop. Great smell when you open the packet and even better when you throw it in the copper. I highly recommend it.

Re: Boadicea
I've got some Boadicea arriving today from the Malt Miller, that I am going to use in a single hop dark mild.
I used it a while back in a biab stout, but this didn't really allow the hops to shine. I am inspired by Crouch Vales Blackwater Mild, which when I asked, they told me that it contained Boadicea and this was a really lovely dark velvety beer that somehow worked with a hoppy floral thing.
I have also just picked up a bottle of the M&S Boadicea single hop beer today, so will let you know how that tastes
BTW, if you buy any 6 bottles in M&S at the moment, you get 25% off!
Cheers

Re: Boadicea
I am glad to hear that people are happy with the cultivar. I recently purchased a pound of Boadicea. There's nothing like having to find an creative way to use a pound of a lackluster hop.

Re: Boadicea
Well I tried the single hop Boadicea Golden Ale last night. It's brewed by Meantime, and like all of their bottled beers, they aren't a patch on the kegged stuff that I've tried (not had Boadicea from a keg though).
The malt and hop flavours were very muted, but I picked up floral, mild spicy and very subtle citrus from the hops.

Re: Boadicea
How fortunate that I've stumbled upon this thread, I was just musing over an IPA recipe using this and Challenger, thinking 6.5% ABV, 50-60 IBU's, sound any good?

Re: Boadicea
I've just picked up some Boadicea. I also have challenger comet and endeavour. I'm brewing a simple pale beer, mainly Belgian pale malt a tad of carapils and some malted oats just for fun. I'm wondering about blending any thoughts anyone?
