Info on the Impact of Sulfate Levels on Noble Hop Aroma/Flavor

    I've read that higher sulfate levels do not play well with noble hops. In my experience, higher sulfate levels (~100 ppm) in pilsners I have brewed has led to a muting of the hop character. I'm curious why this happens: can any recommend any resources that address/discuss this issue? 

    Thanks!
