Mandarina Bavaria

[JKaranka]

I really liked them, one of my most popular beers had them and El Dorado. They would blend very well where Cascade would work and they have a roughly similar strength. If used with more pungent hops make sure you use a lot more MB than the other stuff. 2:1, of MB to Cascade would work very well in an APA or a British Golden Ale.

I made this recipe a few weeks back. Smells and tastes amazing out of the fermenter. Mostly intense orange. I'll be kegging it Thursday.

12 lb Maris Otter
1 lb Flaked Oats
1 lb Cane Sugar
0.5 oz Columbus (FWH)
1 oz Azacca / 1 oz Mandarina Bavaria / 1 oz Motueka (flame out)
2 oz Azacca / 2 oz Mandarina Bavaria / 1 oz Motueka (whirlpool for 30 minutes at 180°F)
1 oz Azacca / 1 oz Mandarina Bavaria / 1 oz Motueka (dry hop, 4 days)

Looks good. Let us know how it ends up.

Let us know how this turns out. No doubt it would be good. However, I would worry if you aimed at capturing the Mandarina Bavaria flavor distinctly. Is was previously stated that when combined with american / new world "aggresive" hops, the mandarina bavaria does not outline much. Correct me if I'm wrong (I've never used Motueka nor Azacca), but these are some powerful hop aren't they?

If your idea was just to make a great beer, this should be good.

Mostly this. I was just chiming in since I didn't find too many good first hand experiences on mandarina Bavaria before I used it. I'll keep everyone posted on how it turns out.

I attempt to use them for my wit beer once I have figured out the perfect recipe for it instead of Saarz/Mittelfrüh and cut down on the orange peel at the same time to see how that alters the flavor.
I'll post results in let say one year or so
