Hop: Lórien®

Description

Lórien® was purposely bred, by Indie Hops Flavor Project, to be used in low gravity beers, in an attempt to keep up with the trend of the public towards lighter, low-alcohol, carbonated beverages.

Designed by Shaun Townsend, at Oregon State University, the seed for Lorien was gathered in 2010 from Sterling female pollinated with a German male.

Lemon and lime forward with notes of hay and melon that is swept away by cinnamon, while allowing the beers malts to shine.
