Anyone tried these yet?
12.3%AA
Think I'm gonna do a big APA, single hop with loads of dry hopping!

Hmm...never seen them before. Should be good. I brewed an APA with some Apollo i got, that was 20%AA though so adding some more flavouring hops towards the end. What are they meant to be like?

Not sure yet as I don't know anyone who's used them. They are a brand new breed only released in the last month or so!

Good find!

Love them.
A spicy piney fruity flavour. Reminded me of punk IPA straight away.

I want more.

In fact, I've been keeping an eye on simply hops website and this morning, they have shown up on the site. However, they are already sold on contracts to breweries. Oh the tease!

They did say on the phone that they may have some 100g bags in left overs at some point so its a case of keeping an eye on the website.
