Mystic^™ Hops

Mystic^™ is a captivating modern aroma hop representing the new frontier of British hop breeding. Developed by the Charles Faram Hop Development Programme and commercially released in 2017, Mystic^™ is a daughter of the bold Jester^™ variety. It was specifically selected to satisfy the contemporary brewer's craving for vibrant fruit aromatics and high yields while maintaining excellent disease resistance. Cultivated in the traditional hop yards of England, Mystic^™ has quickly gained a reputation for its "New World" flair, offering a saturated fruit profile that stands in stark contrast to the spicy, earthy notes of heritage English hops.

The sensory profile of Mystic^™ is a bright and whimsical arrangement of succulent summer fruits and sweet citrus. It leads with a primary, "orchard-fresh" bouquet of blackcurrant, passionfruit, and apricot, followed by a sophisticated secondary layer of orange marmalade and light floral blossoms. As the profile develops, brewers will find a pleasant "fruit-candy" sweetness and a subtle herbal freshness that remains impeccably clean on the palate. Thanks to its moderate alpha levels and low cohumulone content, Mystic^™ delivers a soft, integrated bitterness and a crisp, fruit-forward finish—the definitive choice for adding a playful, aromatic depth to modern British styles.
