Flavor/Description

Said to be citrusy, orange flavored. A good compliment hop to Targets. Good dual purpose hop.

This hop is used for its aromatic properties and moderate bittering. It has aromas that are citrus (grapefruit), earthy, a
floral.

Popular American mid-range alpha acid variety with a unique and distinct aroma. It has a flowery, citrus like aroma; m
orange than grapefruit.

Characterized by its exceptionally high percentage of Alpha Acids, it has excellent storage stability. It has citrus notes, w
emphasis on orange. It is resiny, and spicy.

Aquila was developed in the U.S. and established in 3-acre commercial trials throughout the Northwestern US in 1988.
However, due to its overly high cohumulone content, its use is considered quite limited, and it is not available commer
at this time. North American brewing giant Anheuser Busch lost interest in the variety due to its harsh bittering, which
spelled a death knell for the variety’s commercial usability.
Closely resembling Strisselspalt, but with higher oil and alpha content, Aramis is the first variety from the Comptoir Ag
breeding program.

A diploid hybrid of Northern Brewer and a TG seedling of unknown origin, Aurora displays an intense yet pleasant arom
finished beers. It is also known as Super Styrian.
Named after the Haitian god of agriculture, Azacca® is one of a new brood of dwarf bittering hops. Descended directly
Toyomidori, Azacca®’s greater parentage also includes Summit™ and Northern Brewer. It is considered by many as bei
suited to the IPA style. Even with its high alpha acids, Azacca® still works well as a dual-use hop, giving off a pleasant m
tropical fruits kissed with citrus. On the palate this hop is particularly spicy, with mango, pineapple and some pine-like
tangerine-esque qualities. Despite being a US hop, it has been likened in nature to some New Zealand-bred varieties.
Banner didn't fare well on the commercial market. Bred from a Brewer’s Gold seedling in the 1980’s through open
pollination, its first test plot was discontinued due to severe mildew problems. It was finally released along with its sib
Aquila in 1996 having initially caught the interest of goliath American brewing company Anheuser Busch. Eventually th
after several years of evaluation, it was eliminated from further testing. Banner is known to have moderately high alph
acids, a pleasant aroma and good yield but exhibits poor storability, which along with its mildew susceptibility makes it
largely unviable.
Released in 1999, Bitter Gold is a high alpha variety with excellent aroma capabilities. Its lineage includes Brewer's Gol
Bullion, Comet and Fuggle. Bitter Gold offers limited aroma when used as a bittering hop but delivers diverse stone an
tropical fruit flavors in later additions.
Flavor/Description

Also called Hallertau Blanc, its unique character is reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc and can be blended into the beer’s o
distinctive aroma and flavour profile. Beers previously brewed with Hallertau Blanc have already made a great impress
thanks to the quality of the bitterness and in particular their enhanced aroma profile. The distinctive wine character of
hops is best released by dosing it at the cold stage (dry hopping).

Boadicea is a rather recent addition to the Hops family, having been released in 2004 by Horticulture Research Interna
(HRI) at Wye College in the UK after having been successfully bred and proven for aphid resistance. As such, with also
excellent resistance to wilt and down mildew, it is a natural for organic hops growing. It also has an excellent storage s
Boadicea is a dwarf, hedgerow type of hop meaning it grows to short heights than traditional hops, yet the yield is the
making the hops easier to harvest. Its farnesene presence appears to give Boadicea some spicy character. Her alphas a
but just enough to produce a light bodied and rounded bittering.

A world-renowned couplet with moderate bitterness.

Variety Bramling crossed with a male seedling from a Manitoba female. Blackcurrant, lemony aroma.

Bravo (Hopsteiner 0146) is a second generation super high alpha variety that was developed by the Hopsteiner Breedin
Program and released in 2006. Bravo is an excellent bittering hop that provides pleasant fruity and floral aroma
characteristics.
Bred at Wye College in 1919, Brewer’s Gold is an ancestor to many major high alpha hops including Sterling, Galena, H
Centennial and Nugget. It is an English variety, however American-grown Brewer’s Gold contains higher levels of alpha
than its English counterpart.

Intense,black currant aroma, spicy and pungent. One of the earliest high alpha hops in the world. Raised in 1919 in Eng
from a wild Manitoban female crossed with an English male hop.

Calypso is a diploid aroma-type hop, originated from a cross between Hopsteiner breeding female 98005 and a Hopste
male derived from Nugget and USDA 19058m.

Originating from the USDA-ARA breeding program, Cascade is an aroma-type cultivar bred in 1956 and released in 197
was developed by open pollination of a Fuggle seedling. Cascade is the most popular variety in craft brewing and is kno
having a unique floral, spicy and citrus character with balanced bittering potential.
Flavor/Description

Cashmere was developed by Washington State University by crossing Cascade and Northern Brewer. It was first releas
2013. Cashmere really shines when used for aroma and flavor in hop-forward styles, or where the intensity of its exoti
tropical notes will complement sour, fruited, or funky ales. Its respectable alpha content combined with low cohumulo
it contribute smooth bitterness if used early in the boil.

Celeia is the triploid offspring of a Styrian Golding, an Aurora, and a Slovenian wild hop. It has an excellently balanced p
all around and very good storage stability. It is a versatile hop, with widespread use in Lagers, Pilsners, English-style ale
ESBs. It loves deep clay soil, and requires a large planting distance. It has not been well received by breweries and is,
therefore, not grown in large quantities. Celeia is described as being pleasantly bitter and in symmetry with its aroma.

Flowers and citrus most evident. A medium aroma with mid to high bittering value makes it a dual purpose choice. Rel
in 1990, Centennial is among the most popular hop used by US craft brewers today. The variety is sometimes called th
