Anyone familiar with these? Information is hard to find, I'm curious about aroma, flavor, etc. Thanks all!
I use Northdown and Target for my own brews bittering hop additions...
Some more info on Northdown:

All via a google search...
BTW, I really like to combine Northdown (Target too) with EKG and/or Fuggles. I recently picked up some Brambling Cross and Glacier hop pellets to try out...
All classic British noble hops, and all wildly available in the UK. Check out the IBU`s of Target as they can sometimes be a bit harsh, depending on the year.
Northdown 6-8 A/A 2010 Harvest
Target 10.5-11.5 A/A 2009 Harvest
Im sorry Ive really got too much time on my hands

I'll be very interested to know how your batch is once it's ready for drinking.

That's how I perceive the flavor.
You can find it at farmhousebrewingsupply.com
So if I combine those two I should have something close to northdown? My lhbs doesn't carry northdown but my next recipe calls for it for the flavor addition
Why not just order up a 4oz packet from Farmhouse Brewing Supply for $3.20??
That's a shame. I can get it here in England without too much problem. I do wonder how long we will hold on to all our English varieties. Demand and supply both under threat, it would seem.I'm a northdown fan as well, but it's very difficult to get now.
