A number of updates to the Bear Flavored hop variety guide.
Added Belma hops, a new variety from Hops Direct. I'll be brewing a single-hop IPA with Belma this weekend, so I'll have first-hand results on that one soon.
A number of really, really intriguing new German hops were just unveiled. They include Polaris, which is super high AA at 19.0 - 23.0 % and described as "minty." Hallertau Blanc sounds promising: passion fruit, grapefruit, gooseberry and pineapple. Could be the German response to Nelson Sauvin / Galaxy. Hüll Melon sounds really interesting, described as strawberry, honeydew and melon. Finally, Mandarina Bavaria is supposed to be mandarin-y.
I would really love to try some of those, hopefully they'll hit the states soon. Has anyone encountered them?
