I’m totally with you on the commercial vs homebrew market. I’ve felt this way about mosaic hops for years and I always thought it was just me doing something wrong but I’ve tried brewery versions using mosaic that were vastly different than what I’ve done. I feel like a lot of these newer hops anymore is piney, maybe citrus pithy or some of the other more common descriptors with very little of the descriptors that made them so popular to begin with. Good stuff guys! Keep it up. I come back every week 🙂

We were surprised to find out you could actually get these rhizomes to grow. That means its not a Trademarked or copyrighted hop varietal. Maybe it also means it wasn't really worth trying to protect like a Citra or Galaxy. Cheers! -Mike

I appreciate these a ton! I've gone back to these time and again. One suggestion, if I may, it'd be cool to see a scoring system for these, or even a ranking! While I appreciate the qualitative feedback, sometimes I'm lost as to how much you like this hop to others that you've tried. Maybe you could score it on aroma, flavor, and some intangibles?

I have an idea to make a page on our blog that collects all the SMaSH beer videos and posts them to one place. I like the scoring detail - maybe AI can help me with putting the page together - John

I also wonder how much things change by the time the truck load of stuff gets to you guys over there. I haven't had this hop before but I've had fresh pellets, old pellets and I've had home grown fresh hops, frozen fresh hops, and I've had shipped fresh hops of the same variety and region... and none taste the same...

True - I would think they would be protected in the pouch but who knows.

I love Vista. When they first came out, I thought they were on the fruity side. I wonder if these have changed over the past couple years.

Its an agricultural product and I guess things change. I don't know anything about hop breeding. But I wonder if the characteristics are not stable after a few years of growth. hmmm... CHEERS! -Mike
@josephkeown97395 ай бұрын
@BrewDudes Yeah, who knows. Water, heat, elevation? I'm not a hold breeder either, but I've notice varied results with a couple different strains from bag to bag, year to year. Zappa comes to mind.

I kinda think that if these new hops were actually very desirable, then given the small quantity, they’d all be bought up by the industry and none would make it to homebrewers.
