Nice video. Just placed an order for some Superdelic. Gonna do a Kveik with 100% Superdelic. I’ve been trying to keep a Kveik on tap with a single hop focus all summer. Did Mosaic and have a Nectaron fermenting at the moment. Probably do the Superdelic Kveik in a week or two. 🍻
Goes really well with nectaron. Superdelic adds a bit of jazz on the tongue, and the sweet flavours mask a drier beer, so a great addition if using yeast enzymes that dry out a beer.
Glad it helped! Had some interesting ideas from people about using it in a westie to bring some sticky sweet notes to the table with the more piney resiny stuff which I am quite intrigued by…
I got exactly the same as you from it terms of aroma, flavour and overall thoughts. Maybe the most unique hop I’ve had in a good while. Needs pairing but a welcome change from status quo. I can see why some wouldnt like it with perceived artificial fruit candy flavours. I love it though. Will try and pair it with something like an Idaho7 or Chinook and maybe another citrus hop maybe to round out those flavours.
How do Rich! I was really interested in this hop but it sounds like it might not be delivering on all fronts? Sounds a bit like Eldorado, good as an accent hop but not the star of the show. I think I was suckered by the name!
Hi Gareth! Yes I really enjoyed the flavour but was expecting it to be much more intense, I think Eldorado is a good comparison, pricing is a bit steep for Superdelic if its going to be best playing a supporting role tbh
Been waiting for a review on this hop, you've pretty much said what I was expecting since chatting with a few brew experts in Beer X Liverpool a few weeks back, very underwhelming was th the buzzword of the day.
Loved the flavour but yes the potency was underwhelming especially considering the price of them currently. Hopefully they can really sing when combined with other varieties

Good point, hadn’t considered utilising that sweetness to offset a drier beer 🤔🍻
I have 450g of it and have been holding off using it. The vid has given me some great insight, cheers 🍻🍻🍻

Oooh yessss! Westies FTW 🍻🍻🍻
Super interesting video again I’m off to get some cheers 👍🍻

Thanks! Always good to know someone else has a similar experience especially with something as subjective as flavour perception, cheers
Sounds like a good candidate for a New Zealand Pilsner with maybe some Motueka thrown in to enhance the limey, zestiness?
I would happily give that a go! 👍🏻
How do you reckon this would go in a saison?

Sounds a bit like what I generally get from Strata (regarding the taste).
Strawberry Starburst type thing.
Good shout, I would say a bit like strata without the weedy dank flavour it can sometimes bring
