Hops, crop 2014

[Swedish Brewer]

Hello!
Does anybody have any thoughts about crop 2014? Especially Cascade, Centennial and Amarillo? I find that the Centennial and Cacade smells really good this crop, but is a little weak in the aroma in the beer.. We are evaluating each new crop every year, but i find this year is a little more difficult to evaluate? Anybody with any thoughts on this?

Did you get them from the Yakima valley?

[Swedish Brewer]

Yes, one batch Cascade and Amarillo directly from Yakima chief, and one through our main distributor in England.. (pelletized there, no big difference though)

Yeah we are facing the same issue with the cascade hop (2014 crop) low on aroma in the final product. Its more on the grassier side than tropical .
