Tango is a contemporary German masterpiece that represents the future of sustainable brewing. Developed at the Hop Research Center Hüll (originally known as experimental seedling 2011/02/04) and released in late 2020, it was engineered to meet two modern demands: high-impact aromatics and climate resilience. By crossing the legendary American Cascade with a German male derived from Hallertauer Tradition, Hüll researchers created a "Best of Both Worlds" cultivar. Tango possesses the deep, "Noble" roots of the Hallertau but is supercharged with the citrus-forward energy of the New World. Most importantly for the future of brewing, Tango is a "climate-tolerant" variety, requiring fewer resources and thriving in shifting weather conditions where traditional landrace hops might struggle.
Triskel is a sophisticated French aroma hop that perfectly captures the elegance of the Alsace region. Developed in 2006 by the Comptoir Agricole, it was born from an inspired cross between the legendary French Strisselspalt and a male parent of the robust English Yeoman. Its name is a tribute to the "Triskelion"—the ancient triple-spiral symbol of the Gauls, the ancestors of the modern French people. This variety was bred with a specific mission: to maintain the delicate, "Noble" floral soul of Strisselspalt while solving its low-yield and low-oil challenges. By introducing English genetics, breeders created a hybrid that offers significantly amplified aromatic intensity and higher essential oils. For the brewer, Triskel is a premier choice for adding French refinement to modern recipes, offering a more durable and aromatic alternative to traditional landrace varieties.
