I scored 5 ounces of these hops at my club meeting last night. I just happened to be planning to brew a Pliny clone this weekend....good timing. I'm definetly going to substitute for the bittering Columbus hops, but not sure if I should use some towards the end of the boil or in the whirlpool. Sounds like they'd compliment the Simco nicely.....I've read they have a citris/orange/grapefruit flavor.

Anyone use them? Have any thoughts?

I used them recently in a beer. Their bittering qualities seemed comparable to Columbus, but I didn't feel the aromatics were as strong. I used them in the whirlpool and dry hop stages as well. This was only one batch, however, so perhaps with more experimentation you could get a beer to really pop with Apollo.
