American Hops

[Ross]

My local hbs just gave me 4 x 100 gm hop packets (foil, vacuumed sealed) to try out.

Simcoe
Horizon
Warrior
Palisade

Just put down an APA using the Simcoe & Horizon (cascade substitute I believe)...

I've heard people raving about Simcoe, but anyone tried any of the others?

Cheers Ross

Have heard of but not used Ross (other than Simcoe).
I've read and seen a lot of recipes where Micros in the US use Warrior as their main bittering hop if that is any use.

It will be good to hear what you think Ross.
I havent ried any of those myself.

Haven't tried any of the others, but I'm quite happy to rave about Simcoe.

I'm a big fan of Horizon. I'd say it's a bit more lemony and woody where Cascade is perhaps more grapefruity. Just brewed a Double IPA with LOTS of Horizon - can't wait to get stuck into that one.
