I got 4 oz of Hop Steiner EXP 6300 from Farmhouse Brewing Supply. Put them in an APA for the aroma and dry hop additions (2 oz each). Not crazy about them. The most prominent character I get is that of unripe fruit. Others have noted tropical fruit, coconut and pineapple, but I don't get any of that. Has anyone else tried these? What did you taste?

APA 5Gal OG 1.052 FG 1.010 34 IBU ABV 5.6%
8 lbs pale malt
8 oz caramel 20L
0.5 oz warrior (16.7) @ 60 min
2 oz exp 6300 (14.6) @ flameout
2 oz exp 6300 (14.6) dry hop 5 days
US 05 yeast
 
No experience myself with that hop as the descriptor from farmhouse sounded gross: Cocoa, dill, vanilla, jolly rancher...

As for the haze, cascade can have a fairly low amount of oil (0.8ml/100g) so the 2 oz of exp6300 (1.4ml/100g) could be adding more than 3 oz of cascade.
