So after reading several different (and widely varying) posts on what people thought about this hop I thought I'd start a new thread to find out what other folks think about the hop.
If you have a recipe or other details, please post it, so others might learn from your experience.
I had a beer made from them yesterday by the Snake River Brewing Company in Jackson, WY.
I don't have much in the way of specifics on their beer, but the menu made it sound like it was part of a single hop series they were doing. I got a bit of lemony citrus in the nose, possibly a bit of mint. The flavor though, was amazingly bad, with strong garlic and onion flavors that ruled over the beer like an angry despot. I didn't finish the pint.
This was a really interesting beer to taste, as I generally feel like Snake River does an excellent job with their beers. Based on this, I know I never need to brew with Polaris hops. Not ever. So they taught me something and I got to try something new.
Anyone else have an experience they'd like to share?
