Re: TLDR Beer Club

For whatever reason, the bartender decided to put a hop flower in the glass along with the beer. My friends took turns smelling it and I couldn't smell a thing; wonder what that means?

Wow, I can't imagine a bar even keeping those around. That's pretty cool. If it didn't have much odor, it is probably just a bit old and/or not stored cool. Hops, especially whole flowers, do go "stale" after a while. I think its something to do with the oils evaporating. If you freeze hops they can last a good while, and hop pellets generally last longer than whole hops.
