Word. Worst hop ever.

Indeed. I've still got 2oz in my freezer that I need to get rid of at some point.

I was a little worried by a comment re-posted here on the hop group-buy thread from a supplier, who warned that we wouldn't be able to get Sorachi Ace. Surely that must mean that a lot of brewers are using it - thanks for that, guys!

My cascade hops grow rather well, so I use them in the majority of my beers. I'm not too picky about bittering hops.

My favorite hops are.. in no particular order.... Hallertau, Cascade, Amerillo, Chinook, SAAZ, EKG and Tettnanger.

For me, East Kent Goldings are #1. I love Bristish beer and these are one of the main reasons. Spicy, floral, grassy, herbal and just plain tasty. I also love Amarillos, Citras, Fuggles, Cascades and Hallertaus.

I'd also like to put a plug in for an underrated hop - Admirals. I did a British IPA a few months ago and used this for bittering. The alpha acids in it are pretty high (12-15%) so it's not that versatile, but I was really pleased with the flavour. Very spicy, with an underpinning of bitter orange. I did the IPA kind of dry (mashed @ 150) and it really gave an added complexity to the beer that I wasn't expecting.

My favorite hops are the ones going in my next beer! i'm a big fan of chinook.

Love me some Chinook too. Planning on doing an Arrogant Bastard clone before springtime if possible.

More chinook love here, so much so that I'm gonna plant some this spring. Plus amarillo (unfortunately, no planting them unless someone wants to undertake some covert activity for me).

Gotta say, Simcoe stole my heart this year, always loved Cascade, Amarillo, Perle, Ctz, Citra, etc... Way too many good hops.
