Experimental Grapefruit

[brewprint]

I'm looking for information on it because it seems to be void in Beersmith.

Has anyone used these? We just ordered a pound from Yakima Valley Hops.

I’ve used them routinely for a couple of years after winning 1/2 lb at a brew competition.
I’ve made several batches of a Grapefruit Wheat IPA with them. Always goes quickly!

What are they similar too? Mosaic? I always get intense grapefruit from Mosaic but it's usually after the brew has sat a week or two.

This is the most comprehensive review of this hop I have found.

Fairly unique flavor and aroma (grapefruit). I use some Columbus or Simcoe with it and use the zest from one ruby (pink) grapefruit to make a tea and add at kegging.

I made a black ipa with all experimental grapefruit hops before, it was awesome
