Message HaStuMiteZen99 beers 1111 º places 27 º 08:09 Thu 2/12/2015 Originally posted by SaintMatty Admiral I was going to say Admiral too. Had a wheat beer single-hopped with Admiral. Wasn’t a terribly good beer, but the hop had a lovely, fruity, orangey character. I’ve been meaning to brew a pale ale with it ever since.

I think it’s a very versatile hop and quite high alpha by British standards so you get a bit more bang for your buck when you use it as a bittering hop. Another hop I really like for its versatility is Aurora.

I believe this is what Surly uses in Bitter Brewer? Correct. Unless incidentally, I don’t think I’ve ever used Glacier. What purpose/style do you guys recommend? I’ve used it in esbs and pale ales. Liked it in both
Message phaleslu P admin beers 16529 º places 792 º 08:51 Thu 2/12/2015 Just had that Sierra Nevada Neomexicanus Harvest Ale - I’d be curious to try more of that hop, which I’d never tried or even heard of before. I’ve been partial to Amarillo lately.
Message HaStuMiteZen99 beers 1111 º places 27 º 09:11 Thu 2/12/2015 Bobek is another one. Fantastic in saisons.

I may brew an "American wheat" for a beach house trip this summer. Perhaps I’ll give that hop a shot.
