Liberty for dry hopping??

[TimCA]

I have about 2 oz of liberty and was thinking of dry hopping an APA with them. How are Liberty for dry hopping, is 2 oz in 5G enough and what aroma are Liberty like when dry hopping.
Thanks

Pretty herbal and grassy I think. I have tasted beer using it, not used it myself, as a dry hop. It wasn't my favorite, very tea-like. But you might not get the same results.

I LOVE Liberty.

Liberty is one of the "children" of Hallertau (Mt. Hood and Sterling are too).
It is very noble-like and the four can be pretty freely substituted for each other, particularly in German-style beers (Bavarian Hefe, or many of the German lagers), or light American style beers such as Classic American Pilsner, Cream Ale, or American Wheat.

I've never dry hopped with it, but I think doing so will not yield a tremendous amount of aromatics, particularly the citrusy ones that you'd expect from an APA. I'd save the Liberty for a beer where you can properly use it for its strengths and go with a citrusy variety to dry hop an APA.
