Mosaic .. did a pale ale that mosaic was the only hop. Tasted like peach beer ... I like peaches but not in my beer.

Bought an elbow of Sterling and did a 2 row SMaSH. Yeah...anyone want the rest of my Sterling?

Duckrabbit Schwarzbier. I don't know what combo of hops they use all I know is it is a combo of Noble. Beer tastes like sour milk blended with coffee. Absolutely hate it, I enjoy the Schwarzbier's from Germany tho.
That's crazy ...I just finished off my mini keg of sour peach ale dry hopped with Mosaic. It may not be for everyone, I could see that. I really like it.
Resurrecting...
I hate Calypso. I've tried to like it, but it tastes like bitter granny smith apple skins to me. Maybe good in a mix with others, but just not good by itself. I have almost two pounds of the crap - the only hops so far that I feel I have wasted money on. I can't bring myself to use it in another beer...
Also hate Summit - tastes like onions to me. I have an IPA bittered with it from over a year ago - it is "savory" ;-)
I have a love/hate relationship with Chinook. I love the taste in late additions, but it is WAY too harsh in early additions (especially with high sulfate water). Works well with other C hops late and dry hopping though.
I tried Summer hops but found them rather bland. I'm not planning on using them again.
.Then again, while people claim you should drink IPAs young, I have never made an IPA that is really really good with melded flavors until 2 months out (if dry hopped). Until that time, I can always distinguish flavors ("that is the flavor of munich malt in my IPA" "the Simcoe is really strong"). Beer needs time to come together.
MonkHeDo said:Duck Rabbit has some major quality control issues. You may have gotten beer from a sour batch. I work at a craft beer store and we have gotten a handful of sour cases and kegs from them.

I like some more that others but I have not determined that any particular hop is a problem. 45+ brews and have not disliked any of them.
I have never tried Fuggles so I can't put myself on one side or the other there.
Two of note were Nugget and Chinook. I made a Maris Otter/Nugget SMaSH and enjoyed it. And brewed the Northern Brewer recipe of Chinook IPA and liked it also.
Someone mentioned Galena on it's own. I hope it is OK since I used it for bittering my Pumpkin Ale today. .75oz at 60 minutes. It was a substitute for Cluster.
can't STAND belma hops. nasty-a$$ gross stuff
Saaz always taste like soap to me.
Dear lord, I hate summit. Tastes like onion to me.
Most Hops, IPAs are awful, IMO beer should taste like beer not overpowered with hops, after all its called beer not hop hop juice Right?.
Cheers
You're right. Beer should taste like beer. And beer usually tastes; at least to some degree; like hops
yewtah-brewha said:I probally need to give this beer time to mellow but I am having a helluva time with the chinook hops I used for the last 15 minutes. I may have used too much or just not a good combo with the cascade I used at 60. If I ever use these again, I will not use the full ounce. To be fair it has only been bottled for 3 days. If I am wrong I will repost and eat crow! lol
