I washed us -05 yeast from a black ipa i brewed

Made a starter tonight threw it on the stir plate about an hour ago

Just took a smell and it smells like hops

Should i be worried?
 
Not really. You're going to use hops in the next batch, right?

I would expect that yeast harvested off an IPA would have some lingering hop smell.
