Omega Hops - Anyone Used Them??

[jimp2003]

I am thinking of buying a hop plant this year just to wind the wife up a bit more.... :twisted: .

I was going to get a centennial rhizome when they become available in a few weeks but then I thought I should go for something that I can't get hold of as easily.

Aplus Hops are doing Omega hop plants but before I go for one I wondered if anyone had actually used this variety in their beers and could tell me what they give flavour/aromawise...

Marc Ollosson quotes them in a lot of the recipes in his book Real Ales For The Homebrewer.

I went looking online for information about Omega hops and found there to be very little out there.

The Homebrew Forum actually discussed Omega hops last November.

See http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32305 for a summary of what information is out there.
