Has anyone brewed an IPA with any of the hops on this list?

[cincydanny513]

I want to try an IPA with some off the grid hops and I came across this list today. It looks like Australia and New Zealand have some pretty awesome options. Has anyone brewed with these as late additions? How did it turn out??

Welcome to the forum...make sure to go introduce yourself too.

I have tried Zythos and Falconer's Flight, I'm not really a fan, they have a standard PNW APA/IPA character so nothing that got me excited from that standpoint, and then you don't know exactly what the blend is so from a brewer's perspective, I want to know what my blend is so I can repeat it and sub out if I need to instead of being reliant on HopUnion supplies.

I've always wanted to try Zytho's and Falconer's Flight but I don't have the guts to get away from my Citra, Centennial, and Chinooks. I also haven't even tried Simcoe yet.

i have used mosaic and falconers as well..falconers you cant go wrong with you can make a nice west coast style with that..the mosaic is very fruity not at all what i was expecting and very tasty.

Bought 8 oz of meridian a few months back, easily one of my new favorites. Very fruity without the citrus you often find. Amazing in my hop bursted blonde ale

I know I know, I need to get some for my next brew but my LHBS is always out of them when I go in.

I am a big fan of Falconer's Flight, made an IIPA recently that just keeps getting better. You really can't go wrong with that blend.

I tried falconer's flight when it first came out and did an IPA with that as the only hop. I think I got some peach esters from fermenting US-05 cold and falconer's seems to have a bit of peach flavor so it ended up being a peach flavored IPA. Not bad but not dank enough for me. Maybe newer years have more dank flavor.

I've used Mosaic. They are great but I don't recommend them for bittering (that's just me). I made an IPA with them (I like fruity/citrusy IPAs).

I have a pale ale of Falconer in the fermenter right now. Can't wait to see how it comes out.

Did a farmhouse IPA with Simcoe and Motueka late additions. It was hard a to get a lot of hop character as the Brett B took off. I have a pale ale with Motueka late addition now, and I'm really looking forward to it.
