I didn't say that this was a flaw in my beers. I buy leaf hops by the pound from hopsdirect.com, split into vacuum-sealed bags and store in a dark freezer until needed. I have aged aroma hops experimentally based on info in the Daniels book, but have never gotten this cheesy flavor. I've clarified the post, lest I damage my spotless reputation. I accept your offer of free lambic. :)

Really happy about your other minor points. Dry yeast and no need to rack.
