Any of these good in pale ales Aurora, Sybilla & Dana

Post by simon12 » Tue Feb 09, 2016 12:03 pm

Just looking at the bulk prices of these 3 hops that sound interesting and are seriously cheap and wondered if anyone would recommend for or against useing them in highly hopped pale ales. As the price would mean we could use some serious amounts in the 1bbl brewery I bought half of in November.
Polish Sybilla £5.93Kg 2014
Slovenian Aurora £6.29Kg 2014 (£4.95Kg for 2012)
Slovenian Dana £6.50Kg 2015
I have never tried any of them are they cheap because there no good or what?

You've probably heard of Styrian Goldings A, B, C, and D? Those correspond to Aurora, Bobek, Celeia, and Dana. Aurora is also sometimes called for as Super Styrians; Innis & Gunn for instance. Yes, they are excellent in pale ale.

Sybilla is great too. Earthy and spicy, a bit like Fuggles. Strong grassiness like Sterling.

As far as I know, I haven't tasted Dana hops yet.

I had a try after dry hopping with Aurora. A very pleasant drink even before the conditioning. Dana and Aurora is a good combination. Not heavily hopped like an AIPA but like an English IPA. Total of 100g hops for 20 litres finished product.
