I brewed a batch yesterday, just a basic APA recipe with a good dose of this hop blend at 60,15, 5 and FO. I’ll also dry hop with it.
The hops smelled like they had Simcoe (that grapefruit with a slight onion note), which I see that they do. Also Citra and Sorachi Ace. Actually I’ve been using these in my APA blends for the last couple of years, just to get the grapefruit, tangerine, and lemon notes all at once.
I also read the story on this stuff, very cool. Check it out.
I really like FF. Too bad they probably won’t be available in exactly the same form again. Glen Falconer was a friend of mine, a great brewer and a truly nice guy.
Denny - by that do you mean the blend of varieties will likely be different from year to year, or just that the resulting blend of teh same varieties would vary with crop results (e.g., alpha, etc.)?
A guy in my club is looking for some millennium hops, so he can combine them with the Falconer’s flight hops and make a . . .
Millennium Falcon Jed IPA. 
That is a good one! 
awesome
For one thing, I haven’t heard the Hop Union is even planning on doing the blend again. For another, some of the hops ion the blend were experimental varieties and might not be available even if it’s made again.
Figures - I really like how the IPA I brewed with FF turned out. I guess I’ll have to try to reverse-engineer a similar blend.
Cheers to this blend, and the tribute. I really like it and have my second batch on deck.
Personally, I think the idea of Hop Union blending proprietary hops into a single pellet is pure genius,
and hope they continue with the offering or something similar. 8)
I agree, I like experimenting with blends but this takes the guesswork out of it.
I dry-hopped this APA for a week and racked it to a keg last night, the FG sample smelled and tasted wonderful. This will be on tap tomorrow, I’m really looking forward to it. It’ll really make for a memorable Memorial Day weekend.
