BROOKLYN HOPS?
Have seen the new Brooklyn hops are in stock at the local, has anyone used them yet?

Am thinking of doing a SMaSH with a pale malt base.
Any ideas of hop schedule?
Brooklyn is a big hop delivering high alpha acid with a generous weight of oil while its lower cohumulone provides a soft well-structured but solid bitterness. Sensory panels describe the flavours and aromas in the finished beer to be that of grapefruit, tropical and passionfruit.
| Alpha Acids | 17.5-19.5% |
| Beta Acids | 8.0-10.0% |
| Cohumulone | 26% of Alpha Acids |
| Total Oil | 1.7 ml oil per 100gm cone weight |
| Concentration | 94 uL Oil/gram Alpha |
| Mycene | 22.2% |
| Humulene | 15.2% |
| Caryophyllene | 5.8% |
| Farnesene | 0.3% |
| Citrus-Piney Fraction | 5.9% |
| Floral Estery Fraction | 2% |
| H/C Ratio | 2.2 |
| Other | 10.9% |

The greenish dry hop quality has died back with a bit of age revealing more subtle fruity flavors .
I've been having one of those taste memories that you sometimes get. You know, a taste form your childhood you just cant place.
Anyway, I've figure it out: they definitely have a taste/aroma of orange and mango Raro.
Sounds better when you call it tropical fruit and citrus....

Ha ha "mango Raro". I was reading a review on beer advocate and this beer was described as having a "tinned pineapple" flavour. I have a porter I am drinking at the moment and I swear I get this aftertaste of drinking out of a garden hose when I was kid. Anyways thats not really talking my porter up :-)
