i just poured my first glass of my ipa that used apollo hops and ohhh man!! this hop is absolutely amazing! it has a huge orange/tangerine smell mixed with that familiar pungent almost green onion smell that summit have. this brew was dry hopped with cascade leafs and i must say these two used in combination is amazing! lots of bite and citrus flavors and very resiny character blend very well with a solid malt back bone. very highly recommend using this hop with ipa's and pale ales! bottoms up!
