Experimental 26 Hops

[Brewsmith]

Anyone have experience with the Experimental 26 hops from Hops Direct? I bought a pound and am curious if anyone has any flavor and aroma notes. The website has some info here. I’m already planning some Pale Ale and IPA to test it out. Any similar varieties?

I bought a pound of that last year. I used it in a few APA/IPA brews. I did not do a single hop brew with it. Always used with a couple other varieties, but my thought was it contributed a sweet, stone fruit flavor/aroma. I have an oz or two left in the bag. I’ll probably throw them into a hop stand with some other leftovers at some point.

I've not used it but Northwest Hop Farms has some words on it. Seems like it could be a winner...

Not much different than the spiel from Hops Direct, but it doesn’t sound bad. I’ll report back when I use it.
