So I got these Polaris hops, 18.8% and said to have a glacier mint candy flavor. I was thinking of doing a single hopper to get a feel for these things. I was thinking a light dry stout at 1st, now I'm thinking the opposite end, a blond ale. Idk.
Thoughts? Anyone used these?
Btw I have 4 oz.
 
Ive used them. They have alot of oil content, use less than you normally would, using all 4 oz would be a terrible mistake. The flavor description is accurate. I liked mixing a little in with mostly ekg or hallertau hops, brightened them up a bit. ymmv.
