Admiral hops was released for commercial use in 1996 (other sources have it as 1998). It was created from a male Challenger plant and female plant in the Northdown family. It is the first UK hop to have an alpha acid over 15.0%. Works well as a replacement for bittering and aroma.
Motueka™ was bred by New Zealand's Plant & Food Research, a triploid descendant of Saaz. A great dual purpose hop.
Believe to have be be of Tettnanger decent from the Yakima valley by Yakima Chief Ranch.
Phoenix is a high alpha varietal that performs well early in the boil. Bred at Wye College in Kent, England, it is an offspring of Yeoman. A replacement to Challenger as is more resistant to disease, but could not fulfill on that promise due to low yields and slow growth. Phoenix is considered a dual hop but typically used early in the boil for its clean bittering qualities. As a late addition it tends to be disappointing as it is mellow.
Styrian Golding was bred due to in the 1930s there was an disease with hops grown in the Styria area of German, as a result they bred hops with an English variety. Great in English and Belgian ales. Uncanny is the fact, in spite of its name, it doesn't belong to the Golding family.
Released in 2013 by Washington State University, Yakima Gold is a masterfully bred "American-Noble" hybrid. Its name pays homage to the world-renowned Yakima Valley, where it was developed to combine the hardy, time-tested genetics of Early Cluster with the sophisticated aromatic heritage of Slovenian Styrian Golding. For the brewer, Yakima Gold represents the best of both worlds: the vigorous growth and high oil content of a Washington-grown hop, paired with the delicate, refined bitterness typically reserved for traditional European cultivars. It is a versatile "bridge" variety that brings Old World grace to the modern American brewhouse.
