How did this turn out for you?!?

I ended up dry hopping this with 2oz Mandarina for 10 days, 8oz of hull melon and 2oz citra for 1 day. It was awesome. Obviously this was an expensive beer but I had the hops and I wanted hoppy. The hull melon hops are incredible. If you ever see them at your hbs buy them. The beer is also ready to drink in 7 days with great aroma and flavor.

That sounds delicious! I made a pale ale today with only late addition mandarina bavaria hops. These hops smell amazing!
