    experience with caliente hops?

    Can anyone out there with experience with Caliente hops share their thoughts? I've never brewed with them (or even smelled them) but the description is intriguing and I'm thinking about trying them out in a supporting role in one of my hoppy beers.

    I thought they smelled like ripe strawberries with faint tomato vine out of the bag. Did a single hop simple IPA with them to get a better impression and it was ALL tomato vine. I did not care for it at all.

    Ymmv, this was a simple recipe, just 2 row and some caramel 40, fermented with dry English ale. Blended back with our house IPA it was a little more drinkable and less...tomato-y...but I still didn't finish drinking the test batch kegs.
