I love the smell of hops at the height of summer.
I grew up in a farming town that grew a lot of them and sometimes you could smell almost nothing else on a warm summer breeze.
I live in the Hallertau. Late summer, early autumn when the harvest starts the whole valley smells of it. Love it.
Take care that it doesn't spread like mine. Had a hard time to limit its growth. But I also love the smell.
It’s got its own little place, I’ve also read about some biannual maintenance like breaking the runners or whatever they are called.
Only one way to figure it out yolo.
