The admiral hops finally showed up. This evening we were down at UBrew running up a test batch of Single Variety Admiral Ale. I have been meaning to do a batch with Admiral for ages, as a British hop with a pungent orange aroma, I want to see how it compares to the citrus notes of Citra and Amarillo.
The bowl of hops you see in the picture above had an exceeding delicious orange aroma, with light herbal tones. I can’t wait to see what it comes out like. It is 2-3 weeks till I can, and I will keep you posted.
