Well the hop hash beer was a bust. I got no aroma or flavor from it. So in a drunken haze and moment of idiocy I decided to dry hop it with Polaris hops (21%aa) drinking it now I'm getting a grassy/ wintergreen thing going on that's growing on me. It's different for sure and not what I wanted it to turn out like but I'll bring it for research sake anyway.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
