Noice, pumpy, noice indeed....you kinda make me want to visit my sister in Camden, just so I can drop in to say 'ey up...
Ahh yes, Slovenia, what a lovely little country.Styrian Goldings are grown in Slovenia which is the part of the former Yugoslavia lying just to the South of Austria. It was part of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire and they didn't grow hops there as a work experience exercise, they were and are a major supplier to the Austrian brewing industry. Apparently the SGs were used in Vienna Reds etc and should go well as an aroma hop in darker or red lagers. Because they are derived originally from Fuggles they might be a bit strange in lighter lagers and Pilseners but I can well imagine them in Dunkels, Vienna Reds etc. :icon_cheers:
Anyway, beautiful hops. I find they seem to compliment the maltiness in the English bitters. The delicate spicy vanilla note about them really grows on you! :icon_drool2:
I've tried the NZ flowers as well. Bit softer in flavour, very nice aromatic quality though.
Had a bottle a a couple of years back. Not a bad drop actually, didn't realise it was Styrian.I have heard that Whychwood Fiddler's Elbow is all Styrian Goldings. Grab one if you can and drink it to find out if you like these hops.
Hey all, I have 90g of Styrian Goldings (AA 2.3 %) was wondering if anyone had any all grain hints as to what to do with these? I was thinking about an ESB. Do you think this will suit the style ???
Any Ideas ???
Yukky hop, chuck'em out
Mmmm wheat beer hopped with styrian :lol:
