"Have not used it yet but planing to make a new zealand pilsner with it"
"I used this in conjunction with galaxy hops for a stone and wood pacific ale clone. It has always been a delicious beer but is even more delicious now with what I perceive as notes of pineapple. It has definitely provided an enhanced flavour even though it only made up 20% of the dry hop addition."
"I was initially drawn to the name, but when I saw it was a new variety from NZ, I was sold. Brewed a pale ale in the style of Behemoth Brewing's Chur NZ pale ale, and called it Rhapzody in Green - see what I did there? IYKYK"
"125 gram dry hop made a delicious fruity hazy beer"
"A nice hop that works well in both NZ Pilsner and Hazy IPA. In Hazy, it gives strong peach aromas, with a pleasant and subtle canned peach flavour."
"Tastes great"
