The beer turned out good. I also wound up dry hopping with another oz of the Tahomas. I wouldnt say there was anything new that that stood out about these hops. Theres 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.
