Dr. Rudi Pale Ale

[kitoog]

I brewed this up yesterday with NZ hop Dr. Rudi as the main player. Really nice citrusy smelling hop which is formely known as super alpha I think. The NZ folks are really bringing out some intersting hops :thumb: , might try a kohatu pale ale next. In the fermenting fridge now and will dryhop with an ounce of dr. rudi when fermentation is about done. Looking forward to asting this one.

I like those graphs you get out of beertools!

looks good, high flavour addition is interesting. should be delicious, good luck with it!

So many new hops coming about, It'll take me ages to try them all Thinking the hop bomb in the FV will give it a good kick of flavour

I've just bought some Dr Rudi. How did this turn out? I was planning something pale, perhaps with cara.

I thought it turned out well with a nice aroma. I have a few bottles left and I am sampling one as I write :) Its nice to taste a beer after a few months and still tasting pretty good.

Thanks! I'm going to brew with this on Friday. Has this come out as a very aromatic brew? That is, was it closer to a Washington State beer or a Burton beer?

Cheers

The aroma is mellow enough for me compared to some US hops, but maybe faded a bit since I brewed it.
