I’ve inherited several pounds of Celeia. Trying to get a feeling of the hive mind’s feelings about this hop. How’d they compare to Styrian Goldings? How punchy/mild are they?
YCH says they have “noble characteristics.” I’d like a more detailed description.
The flavor is pretty aggressive for a Slovenian hop. It’s all lime and floral. Styrian Goldings are closer to noble hop character; celeia is pretty far away. It will be more noble if you blend it with something with a more herbal/earthy flavor like Opal. The best use for it I came up with when I bought some was a blend of celeia/aramis/cascade that I used in both an APA and a saison (with different ratios in each). Still not enough of a fan I would buy more.
Hm… Sounds interesting with the cascade . Thanks.
