Dragging this thread out of the dead. I ordered 8 ounces of whole leaf hops, last week. They arrived, quickly, and were well-packed; I was really excited to brew with what I was hoping were great, fragrant hops.
Unfortunately, my excitement was misplaced. While the two ounces of Zeus smelled okay (not as pungent as I was expecting), the Simcoe and Mosaic were very sub-par; I've had much more fragrant pellet hops, from the local store. They smelled very generic, with grassy and herbal notes where they should have been piney or tropical fruit. Again, I was really expecting to be blown away by the aroma of fresh hops, and i was really disappointed.
The speed of shipping and packaging was great, but the quality of the product left a lot to be desired.
