I stopped by my LHBS to get a few ingredients, and the woman working told me they had just gotten in a new kind of hops: Summit.
I'd never heard of them, and she said they were some new hybrid, I believe. She also said they had an alpha of 17-19%!! She said they smelled really "rank." I was impressed, but also a bit put off. The other thing she mentioned was that nobody had any recipes for them yet since they were so new and so powerful.
Has anyone else heard of these? I'm thinking about using them when I do my Imperial IPA next year. Should kick it up quite a bit on the old IBUs.
