It must have been as I've blanked it from my memory. If we still have a bottle kicking about from the trial brews at work, I'll try it again for you and report back.

Simcoe, horrible overpowering pine. And I agree with Scuppeteer the aramis beer was very disappointing.

Yet to find one I dont like.

Been underwhelmed by Rakau recently, not bad, but very different than what I had expected (from what I read, which isnt the hops fault) just way to subtle.

Target, Bobek and Chinook all great hops ;) Not tried simcoe yet unfortunatly

So many hops so little time #-o

Have some Bravo to try out, not heard anything about them

LOL, that's exactly why I like this hop. Very "parfumy". ;)
