So I got a shipment in from Freshops.com and have been breaking it out into smaller bags for long term storage.... This is my first time to have multiple hops around at one time to compare with one another.
I've enjoyed up until I got to Centennial. It has a very strong odor... Typical "hop-like" at first, but almost cheese-like as you breath deeper. My wife said "it smells like stinky feet" when she walked into the room, and I didn't think that was too far off either. I've read this morning that it's similar to Cascade, so I popped that bag open and I do detect a similar smell, though much more subtle in the Cascade. So I'm a little less worried about them now, but just wanted to see if this is in line with those of you who are more experienced in this area.
