I think I can tell a difference in my brews. I think that hop character is more pronounced without the spider and I've stopped using it. Caveats: I've not done a huge sample size and I've known the difference.

I would guess the effect would be more pronounced, the more hops you use. So, I wonder why he decided to use a recipe with so little hops.
