So what's the goss folks? Feedback? Going purely by description I am thinking I am going to use it in my cal common for this years VicBrew.

Used to be purely Cascade for flavour and aroma but I may do half/half this time around as it seems to be one of those vague hops.

Stone just released a Barleywine dry hopped with Pekko..


2016 Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine Dry-Hopped with Pekko Hops



From time to time, we like to tweak the recipes of some of our most long-standing beers—like Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine—to create unique variations. This year we’re taking it to the next level by dry-hopping it with Pekko hops—a new varietal from Washington’s Yakima Valley—which in turn add notes of stone fruit, orange, lemon and mint to this bready, toffee-like beast of a beer.

Anyone used Pekko lately? Was thinking of a pale ale with Pekko and mosaic. Pekko early for bittering then a bit of both late then maybe a bit of both dry hopped? Thoughts. Cheers. [emoji481]
