Just wondering, has anyone come across new hop varities that they really like? I know many of you buy in bulk, and may not have suffered from the shortage yet, but I'm nearing the end of the couple pounds I had horded up, and am looking at having to buy varieties that (mostly) I've never used before.

Ive used Green Bullet in a couple batches. Nice clean bitterness. Only used it as a bittering hop so dont know about flavor/aroma additions.

+1 on green bullet. Ive heard of a new Japanese hop that a high AA dual purpose. Sorachi Ace, 13-16% with citrus(lemon) characteristics. I would like to give it a try if I can find it.

I've got a couple oz of Sorachi Ace but have not yet used it. Other reading I've done indicates it's easy to go over-the-top and to use sparingly? Someone noted it made a good addition to a wit beer, where the lemon and spice can mingle.

I've not yet tried the Green Bullet or the Riwaka, but both look interesting! I know a lot of people are using Summit (tangeriney-citrus, high AA) in their IPAs to get around the C-shortages.

As for me, yeah, I've still got enough to get by for a while. And now that I have that extra lb of Centennial I should be fine.

Summit is one of my new favorite hops. Especially blended with C hops

Belgian Saaz is the all-singing, all-dancing noble hop. Quite different than it's Czeck counterpart. About to try an all Southern Cross IPA, will let you all know how it turns out. Crystal is a terribly underrated aroma hop as well.

Sorachi Ace is overly lemony and citrusy. i used it only for bittering in a beer once and the flavor still came through boldly. it was drinkable, but i'll probably never use SA again.

That's an interesting observation, DeathBrewer:

I did a Sorachi Ace wit, and didn't think it was overly lemony. Then again, there were only 15.5 IBU in the hop bill.

i have some left, so i'll have to use it eventually...i'm not a big fan of citrusy hops in general. maybe i'll make an american hefeweizen with it.
