Adeena® was bred by Latitude 46 with parentage from a mother of Summit™ and a father of ADHA 34/95/57. The herbal and spicy flavor lends to lagers, pilsners and light styles of beer. While the hints of lemon and floral create a unique bouquet for said styles.
Agnus was released in 2001 by Hop Research Institute in Žatec, Czech Republic. High oil content makes this a useful for dry hopping yielding herbal and spicy notes. Bred from descendants of Sládek, Saaz, Northern Brewer, Bor and Fuggle. The name is derived from the Latin meaning of the person (Frantisek Beranek) attributed to breeding the hop at the Hop Research Institute. While often used for its clean bitterness in German-style ales, its unique lychee and orange zest undertones allow it to bridge the gap between old-world spice and modern fruity profiles.
Akoya™ was bred by Hopsteiner Breeding Program and is cross between Zenith and a Hopsteiner male. Akoya™ is a classic aroma hop based on its herbal and spice profile.
Atlas is a bred by the Hop Research Institute in Zalec, Slovenia, Yugoslavia (Dr. Tone Wagner) and released in the 1970s. It is a cross between Brewer's Gold (female) and a Yugoslavian male (3/3M). Together with Aurora, Ahil, and Apolon was considered to be Super Styrian hops when released. This meant they were similar to Syrian (Fuggle) but had a higher alpha content. But, in fact, it is bread from Brewer's Gold, making the classification mute.
Audacia™ was developed by Indie Hops Flavor Project and released in 2023. AudaciaTM has lineage from Hersbrucker Pure female and a male, 1218-2M, which is related to Strata™, Indie Hops Flavor Project first hop release. Considered by the developer to be a bold "noble" hop.
Aurora was brad from Northern Brewer and Yugoslavian male at the Hop Research Institute in Zalec, Yugoslavia. Released in the 1970s. Along with Ahil, Apolon, and Atlas make up the Super Styrian hops similar to Styrian Golding. Unfortunately, all of these hops had higher alpha and different aroma properties as compared to Styrian Golding since they were not bred from Fuggle like hops.
Bitter Gold was released in 1999 and has lineage linked to Brewer's Gold, Bullion, Comet and Fuggle. Higher alpha acids than any of its parents as well as when compared to Galena or Nugget, which are considered close substitutes. Mild profile when used as a bittering addition but shines in later additions, delivering stone and tropic fruit flavors.
Green Bullet™ stands as a historic cornerstone of Southern Hemisphere hop cultivation, originally developed by the New Zealand Plant & Food Research as experimental Brand 65-3-82 and officially released for commercial use in 1972. Bred from an open-pollinated Smoothcone parent to yield high alpha acids, it was specifically engineered to be completely resistant to Black Root Rot disease, an agricultural plague that had decimated New Zealand's hop yards during the 1940s. While it forged its reputation as a bulletproof commercial bittering workhorse to hit high bittering lines in mass-market lagers, craft brewers quickly embraced its dual-purpose capabilities. Though its acreage has been on a decline over the past 10 years due to the explosion of modern tropical varieties, Green Bullet™ remains a respected, highly versatile staple that effortlessly bridges mid-century processing efficiency with authentic craft performance. The profile of Green Bullet™ presents a highly unique, transitional sensory experience that beautifully balances a rugged, old-world structure with a subtle splash of New World fruit. It anchors its aromatic blueprint in a traditional, dominant, and spicy core of resinous pine and freshly cracked black pepper, capturing a classic woody character. However, unlike one-note industrial bittering hops, Green Bullet™'s substantial oil concentration yields a complex secondary profile of warm dried orchard fruits, dark plums, and heavy floral elements. This dual-natured behavior allows the hop to exhibit a deep, multi-dimensional presence, imparting a clean, crisp bittering punch to lagers while retaining enough aromatic muscle to hold its own against robust, heavily roasted specialty grain bills.
