Could my mix of hops cause a funky flavor?

[Dovage]

I made a continually hopped IPA, using Amarillo and Simcoe for the continuous blend (equal parts a few pellets at a time). My 60 Min. was Warrior.
I'm still learning my hops flavors, so any feed back would be helpful.
The beer has a very slight "funk" right at the begining, but it doesn't linger. Usually half way through a glass I don't notice it anymore, which makes me think it might be the hops I used, instead of something else.

sounds like the DFH 60-minute hopping, at least according to Yooper's recipe

sounds tasty. if tasty is funky

Yeah, it is. That is why I'm a little concerned with the "funk". Maybe that is what it is supposed to be? I don't have a DFH 60 in front of me to compare it.
Plus I didn't dry hop (I forgot, doh!)

Aside from hops, what yeast did you use and what temperature did you ferment at? Also, how fresh were the hops?

I used S-04, (what I had), I fermented probably to warm 70 degrees, and yes the hops were fresh pellets (Hop Union)

S-04 at 70 probably the culrpit. It gets a little funky at warmer temps.

The hop combo is a great combo, so that is not it.

70+ is pretty warm for s-o4 and I would certainly attribute some of the funk to that for sure!

I doubt it's the hops but could your funk be described as cat piss? many people claim that simcoe has that flavor. I love simcoe/amarillo though...

I did warrior at 60 min and mixed the simcoe and Amarillo dropping a few pellets every couple min.
I wound up putting my last few in at flameout

No definitely not. Just a slight funk at the first few
Drinks. Probably the S-04 at too high ferm temp like I'm being told.

That's likely the culprit. S-04 range is as high as 75 deg. But active fermentation exceeded that I'm sure. Thanks all for your feedback.
