COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A hop that tastes of bubble gum? Seriously? No, we did not believe it either. But it does! This is one unique, son of a bitch of a hop. Lemony, deep, musty with a smoothness which belies its power. This hop is lemony like a lemon who was angry earlier but is now tired because of all the rage.  This hop of Japanese origin is best enjoyed trying to make sushi from your gold fish, or trying to persuade your girlfriend (or boyfriend maybe) to dress up as a Geisha for Valentine’s Day.

Papsoe (25129) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - APR 6, 2011
Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours golden with a slight haze and a small off-white head. Aroma of coconut and licorice allsorts. Medium body, sweet fruity base and then the amazing tropical fruit esters from the Sorachi Ace – spicy and peppery. Some dry bitterness. 050411

erickok (2371) - Tours, FRANCE - APR 5, 2011
Dark orange again. Also pretty smooth but not as fruity this time, with more herbs and floral hoppy tones. I do like the spices yet the total amount of flavour falls just behind the other 3 in this pack. Fun to compare.
