Interesting cause while good for bittering there is so much complexity to this hop that it lends a great flavor and aroma. I would argue, that It is better used later in the boil and allow something like Cascade to do the bittering. This is one of my favorite hops.

Brewing a familiar Dark Mild later today. (hint: Was the bastard tired? Or was he run over by a tire (tyre). No one really knows). One thing for sure. It will be a treat when done. Cheers!
