Hey everybody, I have a question about the flavor of centennial hops. And before you flame me for not searching the forums, I did. I read the post with the vote for personal preference between cascade and centennial and other posts as well. So, here's my question, for those of you who have used centennial as a bittering hop, in your opinion, is the flavor of centennial citrusy at all? The reason that I'm asking is that I was given some centennial hop roots last March (was given some cascade and EKG also) and they all seem extremely happy. The centennial bines are already almost 3 feet tall and I expect to get a pretty good crop this year. I collected about 3 1/2 oz or so last year. The second batch I ever made was an extract kit that came with summit hops and I really didn't like that fruity, (IMO) citrusy flavor at all. So I really want to make something with centennial but not if it tastes citrusy, it just doesn't work for me. Thanks everyone.
