Amarillo®

Amarillo® is a super version of Cascade that has a distinctive orange character that separates it from Cascade. Trademark owned by Virgil Gamache Farms and was found by them growing alongside Liberty in their hop yard.

Azacca

Azacca was bred in Washington by the American Dwarf Hop Association, renamed to Latitude 46, with parentage of Toyomidori (Northern Brewer Grandmother and USDA 64103 Grandfather) and ADHA 94/95 (Summit Grandmother and ADHA 99-25 Grandfather). It is named for the Haitian god of agriculture. Azacca is a great late and/or dry hop. The sustained profile for the aroma situates to that usage. Whirlpooling brings out the juicy flavor and sweet aroma.

Chinook

Released by the United States Department of Agriculture breeding program in 1985, Chinook is considered by the some the fourth member of the Three C's: Cascade, Centennial, and Columbus / Tomahawk / Zeus (CTZ). With no trademark, Chinook is a great candidate to grow at home.

Styrian Fox

Styrian Fox is a standout variety in the new generation of Slovenian hops, offering a vibrant and modern aromatic profile from a traditional European growing region. Developed by the Slovenian Institute of Hop Research and Brewing, it is the result of a sophisticated cross between the well-established Aurora variety and high-impact American germplasm. There is frequent debate in brewing circles regarding its classification; while most sites report it as dual-purpose, others categorize it strictly as an aroma hop due to conflicting data on its alpha acid range. Regardless of the label, this pedigree allows Styrian Fox to offer the agricultural reliability of a European cultivar while delivering the intense, fruit-heavy notes typically associated with New World hops. It is a versatile choice for brewers looking to push the boundaries of hop-forward styles while maintaining a sense of continental balance.

Did you know?
  • Dwarf variety hops grow shorter in height than traditional varieties but, importantly, produce the same yield. This combination makes harvest easier.
Explanations
  • Storage: is based on the percentage of alpha acids remaining after 6 months at 20*F.
  • Oil composition percentages are based on the total percentage of oil in the hop. Example: 10 - 20% means that for the specific oil it is 10 - 20% of the overall oil make up.
