I've got the same parentage as my sister, doesn't mean we're the same though (fortunately)! :-D

I've got 100g in the freezer and was thinking something more continental with it! Like the idea of using it in a BRA though! :D

Stone are using it apparently http://blog.stonebrew.com/?p=2493 "some of the descriptors I got: floral, earthy, woody, Earl Grey, lemon, hay, herbal."

I need to read the book which looks a lot less fun than brewing with it: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aramis-Love-Tec ... 0674043235

Parentage vs terroir - the latter seems to trump the former. Styrian Goldings 'are' fuggles (same hop - not just same parentage) but grown in a different place. So may be VERy different from WGVs
