With so many different hops available these days, it's impossible for each homebrewer to brew all of them single-handedly. Jim's Beer Kit is a great place to read what worked for other homebrewers, but it's especially handy when commercial brewers do this "dirty-work" for us. I taste every single-hop beer I can find, and post ratings to Ratebeer, which serves as a handy online resource whenever I need to remember my impressions of a certain hop. It occured to me these thoughts might benefit other nerdy homebrewers on this forum too.
Disclaimer: these are my own subjective opinionated conclusions, based on just one sample, at one specific moment in time. I am frequently surprised by how much another brewer's results differ, even using the same single hop variety. Your mileage may vary, and I certainly don't think my taste buds are superior to anyone else's.
From my Ratebeer rating of Urban Chestnut Calypso IPA
Aroma: 6 out of 10, Appearance: 3 out of 5, Taste: 6 out of 10 , Palate: 3 out of 5, Overall: 12 out of 20
Total Score: 3 out of 5
Tasted at the 1st annual Urban Chestnut Wolpertinger beer festival in St. Louis, MO, USA, from tap into beer boot sampler glass. Aromas and flavors were mostly true-to-style American brew-pub IPA, but not one of the better ones. Apparently , this new Calypso hop is all the rage, but apparently its beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I didn’t particularly care for it. I detected the pear/apple/green grape essence which people love; aroma was nice enough, somewhat different, but no big deal. And it doesn't appear to be a good clean bittering hop, so the overall effect was pretty one-dimensional. Still glad I tried it, I learned Calypso would probably work well as one aroma ingredient in a more diverse recipe.
