Im looking at combining 3 fairly uncommon hops together in an American-Style IPA. Hre are the three Im looking at and I was wondering what, if any, experience you guys and gals may have had with them"
BRAMLING CROSS 5-8% All Purpose
Variety Bramling crossed with a male seedling from a Manitoba female. Blackcurrant, lemony aroma.
Used For: Can be good for spiced ales
Substitutes: Bullion, Northern Brewer and Galena
PACIFIC GEM (NZ) 15-17% Bittering
A pleasing fruity aroma of blackberries with a woodsy flavor are the essence of this variety used mainly as a bittering agent in organic beers.
Used For: Organic Pale Ales, IPAs
FRENCH STRISSELSPALT (FR) 2.5% AROMA Origin: The Alsace region of France;Aroma: Medium intensity, pleasant, hoppy;Alpha Acid: Between 3 to 5%;Typical Usage: Aroma
It seems to me a simple pale malt base with a touch of golden naked oats, and a touch of crystal with these 3 hops. Im thinking if one could harness the berry-type qualities of these 3 hops and the golden naked oats, one could create a really unique IPA...
