Sultana, BRU-1

These are the two pineapple hops, and smells accordingly.
Hop flavour, however, doesn’t match: there’s heavy oil, and lots of specks of floral + spice + resin for depth, just not the punch I’d expect from a big hitter like Sultana. Nice slickness from a bunch of oats, at least.
Does 6.2% not bring the same hop intensity as 7% would or is this on the turn at 6 weeks old?

Trades strength for subtlety, for better or worse.
