What is your favourite hop?

Ah, great news

They said Stryrian Golding 'B' on the label, but we had bought Bobek for over a year and then they change the label, it may be the real thing.

Personally i have never experienced a soapy flavour when i have used ST goldings. Can i ask what causes the hop to give off a soapy flavour?? caus at this years compition one of the judges mentioned that my brown ale had a sliet soapy after taste, this confused me caus i don't use soap when i prepare my bottles. Wich other hops are known to give off a soapy type flavour??

Greg Noonan mentioned in an interview once that adding gypsum can eliminate soapy flavours from hops. Not sure if that's true or not.

Fuggles for me. Flippin' lovely.

Cascade, Chinook, Magnum, Saaz, EKG, Challenger. Can't limit it to just one.
Cascade is great in combination with Magnum and Chinook.
Try bittering with Magnum, flavouring with Cascade, and dry hopping with Chinook in an APA or IAPA. Great combination which works very well.
