MOD: Post edited to ensure hop description is at the top for this topic (Lord Raja Goomba I), original post as below:Boadicea has a typical English aroma. It is a relatively new dwarf variety bred and released by Wye College in 2004 by open pollination of an aphid-resistant hedgerow breeding line.
Boadicea has mild, lightly floral and spicy characteristics, with a grassy scented aroma. It has a touch of floral flavour notes and reminds you of orchard blossom. Boadicea’s bittering characteristics are light bodied and rounded.
The Boadicea hop was named for an Angle (Druid?) barbarian queen who resisted the Roman invasion centuries ago. The Boadicea hop was developed for resistance also; it is the only variety that is naturally resistant to aphids, which are the worst enemy of the hop plant. A mellow citrus flavor with a light flowery aroma that reminds you of fruit blossoms. This variety is best used in combination with a hop of a stronger taste.

I have been looking for a recipe to use Boadicea Hops
has anyone tried them ?
Boadicea help to create a soft mellow full flavour beer with hints of
citrus and light floral aromas. Used by Adnams in their Bitter.
found this recipe on this site
http://www.effinbrewery.co.uk/site/asa2009...3b4d18=msoqatvh
Effin Adnams Southwold Ale
80Litres in the Fermenter at 1.037 (75% efficiency), with 33 Bitterness Units (Using Tinseths Formula), and 27 units of colour (A red beer).
10000g Pale Malt
500g Caramalt 250g
Light Chocolate Malt
125g Black Malt
125g Roast Barley
900g Cane Sugar - Halfway through the boil
31g Boadicea Hops ( 5.6% aa - 90 Minutes)
35g Fuggle Hops (5.0% aa - 90 Minutes)
35g Golding Hops ( 4.9% aa - 90 Minutes)
40g Challenger Hops ( 7.5% aa - 60 Minutes)
40g Golding Hops ( 4.9% aa - 15 Minutes)
16g Golding Hops ( 4.9% aa - 70C Steep)
This recipe is an amalgamation of one I acquired from Adnams back in the mid 80's, Dave Lines Version from Brewing Beers Like Those You Buy, and Graham Wheelers, Brew Your Own Real Ale At Home and Brew Your Own British Real Ale At Home. Aiming to get 80Litres in the Fermenter at 1.037 (75% efficiency), with 33 Bitterness Units (Using Tinseths Formula), and 27 units of colour (A red beer).
It is a fairly complex hop schedule . . . The normal recipe used Challenger and Fuggle with Golding for aroma . . . and was pretty close . . . I have heard on the grapevine that Adnams have changed to using Boadicea for bittering with goldings for aroma (also confirmed by the recipe in BBBAH). . . So I have modified my recipe to add this in rather than replace, hoping that I should get a blending and averaging of the flavours.
Anyone tries Bodicea Hops ? or have I missed a post ?
