Just curious what other folks are using this hop for generally in terms of beer styles, bittering/flavor/aroma/dryhop and what you are typically pairing it with or have found it makes a nice combo with.
Reason: (1) I have a couple ounces of this left from last spring and want to use them before they get too old. I did a fairly run of the mill pale ale with them but I had a conversion problem to to poor crush and was underwhelmed by the beer. Since it was my first time trying nugget, I feel like it didn't get a fair shake and want to give it another try. (2) It might be kinda cool to take a particular hop each week and get board member feedback on what people use it for, in what combinations etc. Kinda of a "Hop of the Week" deal. After all, this group of brewers is a fine resource.
edit--any commercial examples that use this hop might be cool too.
