Ditto. I was planning a Pac Gem SMaSH and would like to know your thoughts on its flavor.

Would you do it again with Goldings for the back end, Pac for the front, like you did last? Or would you make the jump to all-Pac?

So far I've been only using my Pac for a High-AA bittering hop for a couple of stouts.
 
Evan! I'm not sure if you're PMing responses or what but the public wants to hear! What did you think of the pacific gem? I've read it can get a little overpowering and harsh but that's probably if it was used in a bittering addition. Did the blackberry and oak flavors come through?
