It's an exciting time in the land of beer-- new hop varieties have been appearing at my local homebrew store and I couldn't resist picking some up to test them out. The Lemon Drop hop from Yakima was especially intriguing to me, with an aroma described as lemon, orange, grapefruit, citrus, blackberry, super cascade, menthol, pine, licorice, and peppermint. I was all in.

I decided a Belgian IPA would be a good way to test out the Lemon Drop hop. I used Warrior and Magnum to bitter at 60 minutes and then used all Lemon Drop from there on out.
