Newish hops

Post by lord.president » Tue Oct 11, 2016 6:50 pm

Been looking at Malt Miller hops. Next brew will be a rye pale. There's some newish hops on their site, Pioneer and Fusion. Has anybody used these? I'm assuming this is the UK trying to keep up with the USA?

Not quite new. Pioneer was released in 1996. Very citrus but more subtle than the American citrus varieties.

Fusion is a blend, so will be different each year.

If you want punchy English then try Bullion.
