Flavor & aroma
HS Grove™ is a precision-engineered aromatic powerhouse added to the BSG Hop Solutions Program in 2023. Designed specifically to capture the essence of a sun-drenched citrus orchard, this proprietary blend is the result of intensive sensory research, combining the most vibrant citrus-forward varieties from the Pacific Northwest into a single, consistent product. It was created for brewers who demand "New World" aromatic saturation without the year-to-year variability often found in single-farm cultivars. As an "aroma-first" ingredient, HS Grove™ excels in whirlpool and dry-hop applications where clarity of fruit and refreshing brightness are the primary goals for modern, hop-forward styles.
The profile of HS Grove™ is an assertive and bright arrangement of zesty citrus and lush tropical fruits. It leads with a dominant primary bouquet of pink grapefruit, sweet tangerine, and lemon zest, followed closely by a secondary layer of orange marmalade and a whisper of tropical stone fruit. Unlike resinous or "dank" varieties, HS Grove™ remains strictly focused on "clean" fruit aromatics. On the palate, the experience is incredibly refreshing, offering a "juicy" citrus sensation that remains vivid from the first sip to the finish. It is the definitive choice for brewers seeking a high-intensity, citrus-dominant hop blend that emphasizes aromatic purity and effortless drinkability.
If you can't find HS Grove, the best alternatives are Amarillo®, Centennial, Citra®, or Mandarina Bavaria.
