    Perusing the Yakima Valley hop site and came across these. Any experience in flavor/aroma in their use?

    I've used the Armadillo a few times. It's definitely got some tangerine qualities...but I wasn't particularly blown away by it. If given the choice I would use Amarillo instead.

    I'm assuming J-lime tastes like lime. If lime is what you want, Wakatu makes nice lime zest flavor.

    You didn't mention Green Magic, but I am finishing up a keg of single hop Green Magic IPA that was phenomenal! Started out with a sweet tangerine flavor and aroma that morphed into granny smith apple and now, 3-4 weeks on tap, it's getting a subdued melon flavor. All stages of this beer have been great and anybody that tried it really liked it!
