Hmmmm. This isn't too exciting for me.
Brewed a batch with some Amarillo 2018 from Yakima, which come in resealable pouches. Added half to primary. A week and a half later, was adding the other half to the keg. I noticed this time, that it smelled like onion/garlic.
With Amarillo, I've always gotten stone fruit or tropical aromas. When I added Amarillo to the boil (separate pouch), it smelled fine. The first addition to primary (new pouch) also smelled fine. Then the second addition, which was to the keg, from the same pouch, smelled like onion/garlic. Isn't that weird? I've only understood Summit to be oniony.
It can't be a bad batch, right? Because the first half was fine. This portion of Amarillo was mixed in with many other different hops and together the onion wasn't as prominent, but I could still detect it. I mean, we'll see when I draw a sample off how much of this kills my aroma, but has anyone ever gotten onion from Amarillo? I've never seen this and couldn't find anything in regards to it. Even Brulosophy did a hop profile from it and no one got onion/garlic.
I read somewhere that someone had one of the big C's--columbus or centennial--smell like onion when they dry hopped, but it went away in a week or two. Some people suggested it was probably just dank. I've never associated onion with dank so I'm not sure.
