melba hops

Curious about Melba hops.

Has anyone tried them? I see them advertised as having a profile similar to Galaxy, but with less grassiness. Oils reported as 2-4 mL/100g (so a bit less than Galaxy on average).

Well - I bought some, though it may be a while before I use them - eventually I envision an IPA using them, citra, and columbus, and a saison featuring them exclusively but not too aggressively. Still eager to hear about anyone else's experiences.

I had the notion that these were similar in flavor/aroma to Galaxy but it seems they may only be somewhat similar.
