Summer
Summer is a unique seedless aroma hop developed and grown in Australia. Summer provides distinctive light apricot and melon fruit notes nicely balanced by a background hop character which can be used to great effect in many beer styles.
Being low in alpha acid, brewers can be very flexible with their dosing when using this hop for flavour and aroma.
