A bit disappointed with the mystery hop this time around. I needed some other stuff but I added 3 mystery hops. Received today and I got 3 packets of the same hops, Pacific sunrise. The reviews on this hop are not great, basically described as the worst NZ hop on the market. I liked the mystery hop as it force's me to use something different that maybe I wouldn't normally order.
Open to ideas on how to use 300g of Pacific sunrise

I'd be inclined to brew a NZ Pilsner with them. You'll have loads left over to do a NEIPA with them too. If they don't stand alone well in the Pilsner, then at least in a NEIPA you could use something more bold to complement them.
 
I have 100g of Motueka that I had planned to use in a modern saison. I wonder how Pacific sunrise would go in a saison. Or maybe pair the both in a NZ pale. Other hops available is Chinook, challenger, EKG and first gold
 
I've still not used my sabro lol. I need to get another selection of random hops! Happy this thread is still alive.
I've not been posting much unfortunately.
 
I added a pack to last order and have Pacific Sunrise.

Never knowingly had it. Reviews aren't great.

Tree House do an Hazy NZ Pale with this, Riwaka, and Nelson so I may attempt something along those lines. Although buying cheap hops only to buy expensive hops to use them with seems a bit self-defeating 🤣

Suspect that's just people expecting everything to be like Nectaron or Riwaka and being disappointed when they're not. I've not knowingly had it either, but from the look of it it seems a nice option for a simple SMASH-y golden ale - it's always a good idea to KISS when you have a hop you don't know well, no point smothering it with other hops.

I did a simple pale ale with Chinook and Pacific sunrise. 2:1 ratio in favour of Pacific sunrise..it's due to get a small dry hop before kegging.
