Never tried this hope before, homebrew or commercial.

I used it once in a mini competition at my local homebrew club. Brief was a modern take on a classic English pale ale and I used Harlequin and brewed it as an American pale ale, so used it in the whirlpool and a healthy dose of dry hop and Verdant yeast. Came out great and won the competition. Really got some nice citrous flavours and aroma's from it...not quite as strong or punchy as with the usual American hops, but definitely there on a base of classic Fuggles flavours. Turned out really well. Brewed it again a few months later but didn't come out anywhere near as well.

That’s good, as I have done the same. Used a APA water profile but intend to serve on the beer engine.

First time using Verdant too.

Fingers crossed!

I'm sure it will turn out nice. I've got a good base pale ale recipe and just change out hops and usually get good results. Think I'll revisit it and try a few of the new UK hops.
