I just ordered 4 oz of tahoma hops from Farmhouse Brewing supplies. Not quite sure what I plan to brew with them, but they sounded interesting...Has anyone here tried these yet?
 
Have not, but found the specs,

Tahoma was released by Washington State University in
2013. Tahoma is a daughter of Glacier that retains the very low cohumulone characteristic of Glacier with somewhat higher alpha acid content. Tahoma has a pleasant aroma with subtle lemon citrus notes.

Yield (kilos per hectare) 2,000 – 2,200
Yield (lbs per acre) 1,800 – 2,000
Alpha Acids 7.2 – 8.2%
Beta Acids 8.5 – 9.5%
Cohumulone (% of alpha acids) 15 – 17%
Total Oils (Mls. per 100 grams dried hops) 1.0 – 2.0
Myrcene (as % of total oils) 67 – 72%
Caryophyllene (as % of total oils) 2.9 – 3.5%
Humulene (as % of total oils) 9.0 – 11%
Farnesene (as % of total oils) < 1.0%
Storage (% alpha acids remaining after 6 months storage at 20° C) 75%
 
That's pretty much all I've been able to dig up as well. Farmhouse also mentioned some cedar notes, and there current stock is 4.1% AA...
 
The hops just arrived. There is some citrus going on, and I definitely get the cedary notes of the nose. I think I'm gonna do this pale with them next week:

5.5 gallon
1.054 Target OG
35 IBUS

9 lbs 2-row
18 oz Vienna
10 oz Crystal 40

.5 oz Magnum 13% @60

1 oz Tahoma 4.1% @ 15

1 oz Tahoma 4.1% @ 5

Chico Yeast

I report back in a few weeks!
 
The beer turned out good. I also wound up dry hopping with another oz of the Tahomas. I wouldn’t say there was anything new that that stood out about these hops. There’s some woody/earthiness with some faint citrus notes on the nose. I could see using them in a hoppier blonde ale or maybe an American wheat. They also probably would complement some of the more citrusy hops well too.
 
I'm resurecting an old thread...

Anyone brewed with these since? What are your impressions?

I cant find much info on them.
