Yakima Gold

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.

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.
