XJA/436 IPA

I found another experimental hop at NorthernBrewer, this one called XJA/436.  As with the other experimental hops, I wanted to try this one in a NE-style IPA first, and then try it in combination with other similar hops.  This hop is said to impart berries...blueberries, gooseberries...so I wonder what it would be like with a little Brewer's Gold and Mosaic.  We'll have to see how this one turns out, and then maybe continue with the experimentation.
