Homebrewers - Whats in the fermenter?

Just thought I would post up my initial findings on the Belma hops. I went from the primary to the keg after 2 weeks in the fermenter @65 deg and can see how these hops compair to citra. They are less in your face and I don't really get the orange taste that is in the description on hops direct website...what I do taste is a nice change of pace citrus based hop that seems to be a bit better at bittering than citra/simco....that pine is there in the finish along with the citrus.

I did float an extra oz of Belma in the keg for a dry hop so that will help amplify this new hops T F S profile. Will post back after it is carbed with more.

Brewing up a Falconers Flight IIPA tonight and a Galaxy Pale Ale tomorrow. ;o)
