Well my first batch got infected but have run a few through with a new batch and I really like the results. Some people are saying that the hop flavour is slightly muted but personally I haven't noticed this a lot. Maybe a touch less bitterness but I no chill so already a little more bitter anyway. It seems to drop and clear up a lot quicker than US-05. I'll keep using it over US-05 for that reason.
I'm using it in an IPA so I'll let you know how it works for me.

A Belgian Triple (with a few more aroma hops than strictly necessary), now to convince SWMBO that she will enjoy making the candied sugar while I sort out the grain ;) .
Ha, I just 'brewed' up a batch of invert/candi sugar to tip into the Tripel I have fermenting away. Not sure how I went, but 1kg of sugar can't do bad things to a Belgian, surely ;)

As an avid APA drinker I am over the very subjective comparisons so I will take it to a brew club meet or something and get people to try them as well hopefully.

I'd be interested in the results and I bet a bunch of others would too.
 
Yeah, will do folks. Just in the middle of changing alignments so I will hopefully get to a meeting in a month ;)

1056 will make the best beer, that's my vote.
