Description
This distinguished variety is well known throughout the world and although identical to Fuggle in many ways it does have its own distinctive characteristics. The perfume-like hoppy character that was again used mainly in European lagers works very well in the less malty flavoured, golden-coloured beers. Strong aroma, mild bittering.
Origin: Slovenia
Aroma/Flavor: Lots of sources described this hop as being pleasant, earthy, and spicy. It has, in comparison to its Slovenian cousins, more citrus-y aromas particularly grapefruit.
Alpha Acid: 4 – 6.5%
Typical Usage: Based on its low alpha acids, this one is better used later in the boil. Brew with higher alpha hops at the start of the boil and showcase those unique flavors.
Beer Styles: Lagers, English Bitters and Ales
CHARACTERISTICS
Floral, lemon, lime.
