I'm a big fan of all those Challengers in Coniston Bluebird, so when I was in Coniston last I went to the Black Bull and had some. And excellent it was too.

I also tried the XB, which is apparently basically the same as Bluebird but with some extra late Mount Hood hops.

Hmmm. That had me stumped. I really couldn't see the point of ruining a great beer by adding something that tasted like weak orange squash that's been sloshing around in a mostly-empty plastic bottle in a hot rucksac all day.

It seemed popular with the locals, though. Each to their own, I suppose.

I think today brewers are spoilit by choice but i still have my tried and tested favourite hops.I have my eye though on some of the new hops Galaxy and Summer , if anybody has any experience with either of these i would love to know.

I tried bobek thinking it was meant to be amazing, and got nothing, very little aroma, a pointless hop

You got away lightly then! I find it like tastes concentrated lemon juice to me.

yea keep it for the wheat brew days

Fav is Challenger.

Right on. Ever since Sierra Nevada pale ale got popular everyone thinks you need to use them and by the truckload.
I like challenger with goldings.

SWMBO told me not to use it anymore.

Me neither.

It's an anachronistic acronym.
