Did this one yesterday.

I changed the hop schedule around a little after reading a few articles about late hopping and it's effect on hop flavour and aroma relative to bitterness. I still used Flyer, but I went for...

5g @ 60 mins
23g @ 10 mins

Let us know how the Flyer hop tastes!
It seems to have two main charateristics;
- a kind of citrusy, zingy, tangy flavour which dominates the aftertaste. The tangy aspect is quite hard to describe - the aftertaste is almost like greek yoghurt mixed with honey. Kind of sharp and sweet.
- a spicey flavour I'd describe as being like star anise or aniceed.

I think this is a really unique hop. Still, it's begging to be paired up with something more conventional.

I might do an IPA with this hop in the summer - any suggestions as to what to pair it with based on the description above?
