Characteristics
A dual-purpose hop with fresh tropical fruit characteristics and excellent finish and bitterness.
Finds application where a higher oil concentration and proportion of Linalool are required to impact on how the hop character integrates into the final product. Ideally suited to traditional German lager styles and finding wider application to a new generation through the international craft market’s insatiable thirst for Pale Ale.
