These are what I am waiting for. The description makes them look like they are perfect for a summer wheat beer.
Current AA__5.3%
Similar to German Hallertau but Higher alpha.Excellent Dual Purpose hop, rounded floral aroma with hints of lime. Possible Substitutions US Hallertau, Liberty
Use in: Lager, Pils, Bock, Wheat, Kolsch, Helles, Belgian Ales.

I am thinking since they are so low in Alph Acids it wouldn't hurt to FWH, then add an ounce at 10, then do a hop stand from 160F for half an hour.

Sounds like a plan. Keep us updated; we want to know.

Noticed this thread, so posting here in place of Gymrat's recipe posting thread...

Resurrecting an old thread, but I recently picked up 6oz of these hops for a steal. Anyone have experience with them? Gymrat (if you are still active), how did your beer turn out with these? I'm planning to run a small (5%ish) beer of a pretty light malt profile (thinking 90% 2 row, 10% Crystal 15l), probably dropping Magnum or Perle as the bitter, and then a mess of this in flavor/aroma/dryhop. I did this malt and hops bill with a couple other hops (Citra, Amarillo) and thought it was a fun way to showcase a single hop. I got both Wakatu and Challenger in this sale, so probably will do both in this fashion.

Hey Swen, I've had Wakatu in some local beers, but never as a stand-alone so I can't speak to exactly what they brought to the party, sorry.

Somebody has to be the guinea pig, though - thanks! :D
