Some definite aroma differences coming off these two primaries:
Omega Star Party has ripe passionfruit, guava, sweet orange and mango. Almost sherbert-like.
SafAle US-05 is still fruit forward from the Calypso hops, but more papaya, green mango/amchor, lime leaf and lychee.
Planning to add the Brettanomyces and Funk Weapon 2 culture tonight. Can't wait!

Sour2th Panther w/ foraged pears. 6.6% abv, ~3.2 IBUs.
Wet stone, moss, yeast, pear & cut straw aromas. Has some ginger and vanilla behind.
Starts with a bold acidity followed by ginger & lemon custard flavors. Middle gives moss, lime juice and moderate funk. Brisk finish has herbal & pear flavors w/ an apple cider undertone. Some acetic acid, but not too high.
Good layers of fruit & spice though may be a little too acid-forward for my tastes. We’ll see how this one ages.
