Just got a half pound of each. Love the descriptors, but I'm looking for experience from other brewers. Wondering both about flavor and potency/pungency of these varietals compared to other IPA staples like Citra/Mosaic/Simcoe/CTZ/etc. I do around 27 liters at a time, so a half lb puts me around 2lbs/bbl. Will likely do 2-3oz in the whirl and the rest as dry hop additions. Zappa was lower AA than I expected at 4.9, but I don't use these for bittering additions, so as long as they have a nice pungent oil content I'm happy. My only concern is that we've all read amazing flavor descriptors before, only to find out the hops were way milder in flavor than we expected.
TL/DR: Anyone make any pales/IPAs with either of these? How potent were they? How'd they taste? Thanks!!!
