... couldn't get hold of any. I have Pacific Gem and Green Bullet instead.

Discuss.

Have you used it yet/ever? I have 3 oz. and was going to use it in combination with Amarillo/Centennial at 20, 10, 0 and dryhopping in a Pale Ale. I hope it turns out well cause it's for a club-only competition coming up.

I've heard Pacific Gem is a nice bittering/aroma hop that should be OK as dry hop - but my uderstandiong of green bullet is that it is a straight up bittering hop... and not one I am too fond of when its flavour profile rather than just its bittering starts to make it into the beer.

Think I agree. I havent used the GB in my beer yet but I have had a couple of single hop IPAs that use green bullet. Find it to be very lacking in any distinct aroma or flavour. Definetly one for bittering I think.
