I have to say that even though I wasn't crazy about the green pepper, it wasn't bad though I did keg hop the rest of my beer to cover up the flavors and it worked out well.
I have no clue, but I have never tried *dry hop only*, so maybe that would do it. But I don't know.

In the first batch the "pepper" thing went away mostly with age. Maybe the "celery" here will too.

If that doesn't work and you find it it's really off putting, I'm sure you could use the hops in small amounts as a traditional 60 minute bittering addition in a bunch of brews and have it not be noticeable.

The beer I'm drinking is basically as if I had used 8oz of it in 5 gallons, so it's pretty much an "extreme" example, but I wanted to see what they were like like that, so it's my own fault.
