Cascade
• History. The first commercial hop from the USDA-

a high-alpha Cascade.
• Flavor/Aroma. One of the classic "C" hops, along with

Ultra, Liberty and Crystal. Mt. Hood is an aromatic
variety with marked similarities to the German
Hallertauer and Hersbrucker varieties.
• Flavor/Aroma. It has a refined, mild, pleasant and
clean, somewhat pungent resiny/spicy aroma and
provides clean bittering. A good choice for lagers.

released in 1998.
• Flavor/Aroma. Noble hop character, herbal, floral, but
with a little American character. (alpha acid: 5.5-7%
/ beta acid: 7-8.5%)

• History. A propriety strain bred by Yakima Chief.
• Flavor/Aroma. Simcoe is best characterized as having
a pronounced pine or woodsy aroma. The cultivar
was bred by Yakima Chief in the USA. It is
sometimes described as being “like Cascade, but
more bitter - and with pine.” (alpha acid: 12-14% /
beta acid: 4-5%)

• History. Sterling is an aroma cultivar, made in 1990
with parentage of 1/2 Saaz, 1/4 Cascade, 1/8
unknown German aroma hop, 1/16 Brewers Gold,
1/32 Early Green, and 1/32 unknown.
• Flavor/Aroma. Similar to Saaz in aroma and flavor.
Aromas are fine, rustic, earthy, and spicy. Used in
this year’s Full Sail LTD 03. (alpha acid: 4.5-5% / beta
acid: 5-6%)
Summit
• History. Summit is a recently-released super-high-
alpha hop variety. It is a dwarf variety grown on a
low trellis system. Because the low trellis is not
machine harvestable, these hops are picked by hand
in the field.
• Flavor/Aroma. Strongly pronounced orange/
tangerine aroma and flavor. A favorite hop of Rob
Widmer and used in recent releases (W ’07, Drifter).
(alpha acid: 17-19% / beta acid: NA)

characterize standard dried hops, not wet hops.
