So, I guess a bit of feedback is in order here. This one was a bit of a mixed bag really. Probably my cleanest beer with least noticeable fermentation flaws to date. In fact, there's no 'probably' about it - it is my 'best' made beer thus far. But a bit of reading suggests that BC is one of those divisive hops that brewers either seem to adore or despise. It turns out that I'm in the latter camp. I probably over did it a smidge for style, which obviously compounds the issue, but certainly nothing that would ruin a beer, IMO. I guess I'm just not a fan. Haven't had an opportunity to get any informed feedback on the beer but no one has complained thus far (but then again, they rarely do). I'll be able to finish the batch but I can't see me rushing out to use these hops again.
My thanks to DrS and Burt for the assistance/inspiration.
