I did float an extra oz of Belma in the keg for a dry hop so that will help amplify this new hops T F S profile. Will post back after it is carbed with more.

Brewing up a Falconers Flight IIPA tonight and a Galaxy Pale Ale tomorrow. ;o)

Falconer's Flight is a great hop.
Belma reminds me of a more tropical/mango citrus Aussie hop.
Both should be good stuff.
