Hop: Eroica
Description
Eroica is a descendant of Brewer's Gold that was the result of an open pollination in Idaho in 1968. The hop was released commercially in 1982. Eroica was a high alpha hop for the time period. The usage of Eroica hops at the commercial level has all but disappeared as Galena is more favorable.
Eroica is high yield, high alpha acids, and a very late maturity.
