Mate used it in a smash or a IPA a while back was very strong pineapple flavour. Not my cuppa tea

Interesting I had never heard of it before today. Im not big on pineapple. I wonder if the renaissance guys have other hops in there because I didn't get that. I'm not a big fan of the cloying hop, my Yakima Monster clone that smells of apricot is going to be hard work

Loved it will be brewing with these hops for sure.......I did read that they reversed the hop schedule for this brew so the high alphas were added towards the end.Whats the % on these hops?

I think the earlier version was better and its 100% better fresh on tap vs bottles....

Yep sure do.
Pale Ale 60IBU, 8 SRM, 5% ABV
3.7kg Gladfield Ale
800g NZ Pils (could miss this and do 4.5kg Glad Ale?)
250g Crystal 60
250g Gladfield Toffee
15g NZ Chinook @ 60min
20g NZ Chinook @ 20min
25g ea. Nelson Sauvin & Rakau @ 5min & Flameout
100g ea. Nelson Sauvin & Rakau Dry Hop for 5 days in secondary.
Yeast I used was Mangrove Jacks US Westcoast Ale but any American Ale will be fine and next time I'm going to give Wyeast 1450 - Denny's Favourite 50 a try.
After Bottling I found it best at about 6 weeks
