My visiting beer critic i.e. brother in law, thought it was the best beer I had done, described it as tasting like fruits of the forest. I know that sounds weird but it's well worth giving this hop a go.
Got a rough recipe ?

I recently did a user up brew featuring lots of Bramling x and Styrian Goldings in as late additions. To my palate the pairing went really rather well and i'll definitely be pairing them together again in the future.

I tend to use them late or for dry hopping. A good earthy, spicy British hop.
