Characteristics
A true dual-purpose hop with stone fruit and fig characters and excellent bittering qualities.
New World styles of ales and lagers where brash fruity character and big but well constructed bitterness is desired. Readily toned back to lighter styles, even with multiple kettle additions…..and great when used in a combination of very late and dry hopping.
