Pacific Hallertau Experience?

[eamonnfoley]

Hi, anybody got experience with Pacific Hallertau? I have a fair bit of it in the freezer and cant find much good information about it.

Im hearing its more fruity/citrisy than & not much like german hallertau. Could I use it in say, an american brown ale in combination with chinook?

Say something like:
pacific hallertau & some chinook at 60 min
chinook 15 min
pacific hallertau at 0 min

Foles,
Check out the flavour of the week section, there a few page thread on peoples findings and experience with PacHal.

I did a kiwi pale ale with B Saaz and PacHal ... to be honest I found it more spicy than fruity and if anything it tasted a little muted. But I'm a big fan of over hopped american ales so perhaps I'm not the best judge! Here was my hopping schedule.
