For those interested in the Ahtanum watch this space as i just put down a american brown ale this week with them and reports on the beer will be about two weeks away.
anyway in the fermenting wort they taste great, extremely great actually.
They are tasting similar to cascade but with a little less grapefruit flavour but still the fresh, potent, fruity and spicy wicked taste i love.
Recipe for all interested below.
I had no idea of what to expect from these hops but so far iam very impressed.
Anyone else got any results to share re-athanum yet?
