Newer hops that y'all are digging?

Ive been messing around with all sorts of newer hops. Vic secret, Idaho-7, medusa, strata, denial, Eldorado. Those hops are all great for pales, ipas, and neipas.

 

Idaho 7 or 007 might be my new favorite. Really cool orange character

Strata is awesome but more won't be available until fall sometime

Enigma, Galaxy, Vic Secret are all awesome Australian varieties that are super potent

Denali, Ekuanot are some other newbies.

Anyone tried Triumph yet? YVH has some but only in 2oz packages. Only info I can find on it is a sell sheet from Cigar City that lists it as having notes of "lime leaves and valencia orange"

 

IMO vic secret is a stronger version of galaxy, Idaho-7 gave me notes of tropical/citrus and had a dank piney quality to it (amazing hop for a smash beer!) El dorado and denali are super fruity to me with notes of pineapple, apricots, tropical and fruity ( my 2 fav hops) medusa was very very mild fruity/melon to me (def don't want to use it with something powerful because it will get buried), and the strata had more of a weed/danky fruit characteristic to me, but was also mild.

 

I’ll be dryhopping 2 oz cryo eukanot in a pale ale I brewed over the weekend.
Edit: first-timer

 

I have been digging Tahoma. Not your fancy proprietary NW hops, but something that is nice aroma in my book.

 

Denali was terrific when paired with Citra as a dry hop. I plan to use Denali again real soon. I got lots of ripe pineapple juice flavors from it.

I’ve got hallertau blanc and Huell Melon that I’m really looking forward to trying as dry hops for two different beers I have going now. I don’t want to mix these though because I really wanna see what each can contribute to the aroma/flavor

 

Citra, Denali, El dorado, and Galaxy is a great combo in a NEIPA

 

I got a subtle lemon like citrus aroma. I feel I got a little cedar/pine in there, which YCH says Tahoma has. But all my buddies didn't get any. I only used two ounces in semi-cream ale, so maybe need a little more.

 

Denali is the dark horse. Big pineapple. Have a Galaxy/ Denali NEIPA fermenting away right now. “ Pineapples from Space “

 

el dorado but honestly I don’t experiment much. I have some jarrylo that I really don’t want to use.

 

Same as well. Used 1/2 lb of Medusa with a touch of Mosaic, in a 5 gal batch and got a lot of melon.

 

its def a nice subtle hop with really low AA

 

Used #06297 (experimental stonefruit) in a pale a few days back and it's looking *extremely* promising. I will know in a week or so with the finished beer, but the aroma/flavor is just awesome. If it ends up as good as I expect, I may need to buy more of this hop pronto. Blending with Galaxy or Vic Secret may result in epic hopness to the third degree.

 

I bought 8 ounces of El Dorado recently. My first batch using this 'new' hop is an El Dorado IPA. That batch is dry hopping right now so I will know shortly how that beer tastes. My next batch will be a 'NEIPA' which will be a combination of Mosaic/Citra/El Dorado.

Cheers!

 

It’s just nothing special. Waste of money imho.
