3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Tap @ Mikkeller. Pours copper with a small head. Aroma is of course hop forward. The HBC brings a strong passion fruit and tangerine aroma, mildly spicy pepper and wood notes, sweet pineapple, too. Very interesting qualites to this hop. It's followed up by a light biscuit maltiness. Taste is very pungetly hoppy. Strong and dense tropical fruitiness, passion fruit and distinct doughnut peach sweetness. A bit of spicy woodiness. This hop surely has its qualities. Somewhere in between riwaka and sorachi ace - and a good middle point at that.
