Gday all.
From what I have read, PoR gets a fair old bashing as far as a flavor hop goes.
I have just cracked my PoR 10 min APA and **** me if it isn't one of the best beers I brewed.
Great aroma, tastes awesome with a sweet finish, but leaving a nice bitter aftertaste.
I can't say what it smells or tastes like, its not citrusy, piney, floral, earthy, minty or herbal, just a perfect balance.
I was starting to regret putting in a hop plant after reading the bashing that it gets, but as it was doing so well, I had a heap of cones that I didn't know what to do with them.
So I organised a Harvest brew day.
During the boil, we all got out in the pouring rain and Savagely raped the PoR bines. We ended up pretty much stripping it all and got 1.7kg wet.
This was an experimental brew, so didn't care too much if it didn't work - I always had the cascade harvest ale to fall back on (which I had to take it of tap so i could keep it a bit longer).
Cant wait till next year to do it again.
Recipe as follows:
Pleas note, we chucked in 1.7kg wet hops 400g was just to get the ibu's up there..

I think Fresh hops is the secret, there is now way I'd do this with store hops.
Flame suit is now on...
