Thread necro, but since it's here I'll use it. ("That's what she said.")
Rakau hops in most recent somewhat belgiany strong because of the apricot and pine descriptors on all the sites. The inspiration was blood oranges into a belgian strong with lots of raisin as well...so like a mince pie.
Beer turned out great, so good my glass seems to empty itself, but the rakau is a bit of a standout because it doesn't blend in well. Not getting much apricot at all and no 'pine'yness. What I do get are hints of tropical fruit and like a sapling branch woodiness. Literally like you were hiking and needed a thin branch to poke at something or get something out of a fire, just what that branch would smell like. And then I get a dustiness that I could really do without.
I know it is the rakau now because this is second beer I've used it in, and that one had a dustiness that was unpleasant. Also, the other night I was judging and first thought was, "I know this hop." Sure enough I compared it to my belgian strong last night and they are super similar in aroma and that taste.
(This was flavor and dry hopping with some sorachi ace for this beer.)
