Commercial craft while waiting for homebrew to condition.
 
Yep. But not the exact same recipe I posted in the azacca hops thread. A little bit different to use the Cluster hops that Bulin sent
What is your impression of Azacca hops and what they bring to a beer?

They seemed to provide a strong tropical/citrusy flavor and aroma when used late in the boil and dry hopped. Probably a great hop for a NEIPA. My first impression was that they would work better when combined with another "new" hop varietal, something like Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, etc. I'd like to do a Wayner's Pale type beer with Azacca and Citra

I also made a Wheat ale with the Azacca but it wasn't dry hopped. It's still conditioning, but when I tasted the gravity sample it didn't have nearly as strong flavor/aroma (which was expected). In that beer it seemed to provide a nice bitterness and subtle hop flavor. Jury's still out though until it's ready to be drunk.
