So I picked up some of these hops as the descriptors sounded pretty good for a brew I have coming up. Have any of you used Lotus hops and what has your experience been?
Used them once, wasn’t a big fan. They had this really weird blend of herbal/earthy/tropical and yeah almost synthetic vanilla/coconut. Could have been the lot I used. Was when they were an experimental variety a few years ago. Might have improved since then. Personally I’ve never really enjoyed many of the Hopsteiner hops. Denali/Sultana might be the best they offer IMHO.
Also keep in mind hop character is completely different in sour beer. pH has a dramatic effect on things.
