Characteristics
An aroma and dual-purpose flavour hop with distinctive ‘New World’ white wine characters.
Very much at home in the new-world styles such as American Pale Ale and IPA. This hop is considered by some as being extreme and it certainly makes its presence felt in speciality craft and seasonal beers while having gained a considerable international reputation in recent times.
