Did anyone else get awful quality Simcoe Leaf hops from YVH this year? I ordered them in December (2014 harvest) and they are brownish and do not smell like Simcoe. I'm guessing these are either very old, or not Simcoes.... they are really earthy, and I can't tell if it's oxidation or just an earthy variety (Willamette, Goldings, etc).
Anyway, buyers beware. I'm really happy with the pellet hops I got from them but I won't be brewing with these, and at $22/lb...
