The aroma is soft, pleasantly spicy and herbal with vivid woodsy, earthy, and dark floral character. Rootstock grown elsewhere doesn t have the same range or balance as Czech flowers.

The signature landrace variety of the Hallertau region in Bavaria, Hallertau Mittelfüh is, at least to some, the epitome of noble hops. Although it can be and is used throughout the boil, it is most prized for its fine, elegant aroma and flavor contribution. Mittelfrüh has been one of Europe's most widely esteemed varieties for centuries and is practically synonymous with continental lagers (particularly Bavarian styles) and many types of German and Belgian ales. The aroma is complex but mild and approachable. Specific aroma descriptors include mild, yet spicy, with floral and citrus tones. Its many offshoots and daughters show some of these same qualities, but none has the same range and balance as Mittelfrüh. Hop Type: Aroma Origin: Germany Alpha Acid: 5.4% Similar Varieties: Tradition, Hersbrucker, Mount Hood, Liberty Common Styles: This classic German aroma hop is often associated with Bavarian-style lager beers, Continental Lagers and Wheat Beers, German Pilsner, Altbier.

The queen of English hops with a pedigree dating back to 1790, East Kent Golding is to British brewers what Hallertau Mittelfrüh is to their German colleagues. A premium appellation, East Kent Goldings hops can only come from East Kent - Goldings hops grown in other counties are known as UK Goldings. EKG has been a spotlight flavor in the profiles of hoppy ales from the British Isles: IPA, pale ale, and bitter. It s used at lower rates to subtler effect in Scottish and other darker, maltier ales. It's flowery with citrus peel or citrus candy overtones (lemon, white grapefruit, orange) and an herbaceous, spring meadow-like undercurrent.

The prevailing theory of its origin is pollination of hop varieties cultivated by English and Dutch settlers by indigenous wild hops.

Somewhat strong and largely underrated, the flavor and aroma of Cluster are spicy and floral with earthy blackcurrant undertones.

The bold, citrus and pepper aroma provides excellent results in dual-purpose applications, and nicely compliments full, malty beers. Hop Type: Bittering Origin: New Zealand Alpha Acid: 14.5% Common Styles: American pale ales, IPA
