Evergreen™ Hops
AromaAlpha 7.0 - 7.5%United States
Evergreen™ stands as a highly sophisticated, purpose-driven innovation in modern hop design, meticulously formulated and released by the technical specialists at the BSG Hop Solutions Program. Rather than a single-strain agricultural cultivar harvested from an individual field, these premium pellets are a masterfully engineered, post-harvest commercial blend of select elite American varieties. The blend was explicitly developed to conquer a frustratingly common brewhouse challenge: capturing a highly intense, durable, and fruit-forward aromatic payload that remains fully stable and won't drop out or become muddy during cold, extended lager fermentations or long cellaring periods. By marrying robust agronomic sourcing with rock-solid lot-to-lot chemical consistency, Evergreen™ serves as a highly reliable, all-in-one tool for contemporary brewers looking to inject a potent, vibrant combination of classic Pacific Northwest fruit and forest character into their beers.
The profile of Evergreen™ is an intentionally orchestrated, highly expressive sensory landscape that beautifully merges intense orchard sweetness with a clean, woodsy structural backbone. The aromatic experience opens with a loud, immediate punch of sun-ripened stone fruits, highlighted by notes of fresh peach skin, soft apricots, and sweet watermelon candy. This vibrant fruit top-note is closely followed by an uplifting mid-palate of bright citrus, evoking images of sweet lemon drops, orange marmalade, and zesty tangerine peel. Grounding this heavy, candy-like fruit character is a rustic, comforting foundation of fresh-cut hay, green tea leaves, and crushed pine needles. This intricate essential oil balance ensures that while the blend delivers a massive, contemporary fruit punch, it retains a classic, crisp American craft backbone that prevents the finished beer from ever smelling overly sugary, cloying, or artificial.
If you can't find Evergreen, the best alternatives are Amarillo®, Chinook, Idaho 7®, or Simcoe®.
