Beata Hops: Profile & Substitutions

Description

Beata was bred at the Horticulture Research International at Wye College, United Kingdom. It was bred for its high beta content starting in 1995. The high beta acid actually comes through as higher bitterness in the beer.

Substitution Tip

If you can't find Beata, the best alternatives are Belma® or Boadicea.
