I did my a brew a couple weeks back where I dry hopped with pellets for the first time (Flyer - A spicy resinous British hop with citrus, liquorice and toffee - excellent for dry hopping)

20g 6 days prior to bottling, and 20g 3 days prior to bottling. I tried a bottle last night (been in bottle about week and a half) and there is a distinct grassy aroma. It doesn't taste bad though. Any ideas what I might have done wrong?

Grassyness happens when you leave the hops in too long or use too many!

Try using less hops or leaving them in for a shorter time next time.
