The NZ Styrians I bought are flowers, and it seems Craftbrewer only sells the NZ ones in flower form. Nothing wrong with that!Are they flowers? I've got Styrian Goldings from Europe in pellets which are great as the aroma hop for Yorkshire Bitters but if I can get flowers, and assuming they are similar to the Euro variety then woohooo...
Also the hop in Timothy Taylors Landlord Ale...
I believe the good Dr. S would be referring to the Slovenian strain when I think the NZ breed is a different beast!
Tho I maybe wrong never used the NZ but plan to in my Murrays Sassy cloning quest! :icon_drool2:
OT - Dr.S's Landlord is the bidness!!
That's one gripe I have with NZ hops in general - they often have one really dominant characteristic that blows everything else away. The more traditional varieties seem much more refined and balanced by comparison.
Yah I found some Kiwi hops to be hit and miss (mainly NZ Willamette & Goldings) OTOH NZ Styrians are most authentic in comparison to the real Slov McCoy. Just a little coarser early on but settle nicely over time to that great Vanilla and Marmalade.
