The description includes black currant, which smells like cat urine to me, so I'll pass, but I thought I'd pass it on.

At $2/lb, I'm almost tempted to get some to use for bittering even though it's an aroma hop. But I've got a freezer full of hops already.

I'm with you, tons of hops to get thru this summer and fall. Plus, they're 2017 which doesn't mean they are bad, just that you won't get everything you should out of them.

The last time I used Crystal as a flavor/aroma hop I thought …. booooring….

I like Mt. Hood or Strisselspalt a lot better in that regards.

But maybe I just had a lame batch of hops.
