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.
Bombastic® was bred by Wild About Hops in New Zealand. From Riwaka™ (f) and Nelson Sauvin™ (m), this hops drops the bomb of aroma and flavor with passionfruit, blackberry, ginger, lime, melon, and white wine grapes. Large, 6cm cones make this easy to harvest.

Originally named Super Alpha but renamed in 2012 in honor of the "father of New Zealand hops", Dr. Rudi Roborgh. There isn't a direct substitute.
Eclipse® was bred by Hop Products Australia to have high alpha acids as well as aromatic complexity. Although a dual threat, aroma and bittering, Eclipse shines in late hop additions: boil, whirlpool and dry hopping. Pedigree of high alpha Australian and North American hops.
Emperor® was bred by Charles Faram in 2013, being released in 2016. Sister to Opus™. Bred to meet the needs of bigger and bolder hops, the highish alpha acid level and great aroma characteristics make this a dual threat.

Released for commercial use in 1972, Green Bullet™ was originally known as Brand 65-3-82. Acreage is on a decline over the past 10 years. Bred from an open pollination Smoothcone to have high alpha acid. This has enabled the hop to be used for bittering in lagers. It also has a "traditional" spicy character.
Horizon contains the lowest cohumulone level of any hop, which typically results in a smoother bitterness. Horizon is a half-sister of Nugget, bred at Oregon Status University in Corvallis, Oregon by United States Department of Agriculture in 1970 with eventual commercial release in 1998, has lineage of Brewer's Gold, Early Green Hops, USDA 65009 and 64035M.

Grown in the Czech Republic, Most became the first Charles Faram grown outside the United Kingdom. It takes it name from the Czechian city Most, which means bridge.
Nectaron® was developed by New Zealand's Plant & Food Research. The triploid hop that is a sister of Waimea™. Based on the bio makeup of Nectaron®, it creates a different profile when used with American and English yeast. Best used late and for dry hopping. Nectaron® is named by putting together "Nectar of the Gods and Ron Beaston, the principle scientist at Plant and Food Research.
Norther Brewer is a great bittering hop that is the base of many beer. It is a cross of a Native American varietal and Northern Brewer, the resulting hop is genetically distinct from the English parent.
Olympic is bred from Brewer's Gold, Fuggle, East Kent Golding, Bavarian, and a fifth unknown varietal. It was released sometime in the mid 1980s.
Pacific Sunrise™ was released in 2000 by New Zealand HortSearch program. Pedigree is from Cluster, Fuggle, European and New Zealand male hops. Currently registered with New Zealand Hops Ltd. Pacific Sunrise has both clean bittering and aroma. The hop has not been used much commercially. May be experiencing a new push to introduce the hop. The high alpha acid content allows Pacific Sunrise to work well as an early boil addition but the aroma profile makes it perfect for late additions: boil, whirlpool and dry hopping.
Pacifica was bred at New Zealand's Plant & Food Research; released in 1994. A triploid from open pollination with Hallertau. Soft bitterness with classic Hallertau style floral and citrus.
Believe to have be be of Tettnanger decent from the Yakima valley by Yakima Chief Ranch.

Rakau™ was re-released in 2007 by the New Zealand Hop Breeding Program. Considered to have "the whole orchard" by the breeder. Orginally bred in the 70s it was not released until 1983. The myrcene oil content concentration leads to the aforementioned huge orchard profile while low cohumulone make it less bitter. Lineage of Smooth Cone.
Strata™, developed by Indie Hops Flavor Project in 2009, was initially called X-331. Parentage of Perle, open pollinated at the Oregon State experimental hop yard. Strata™ is impressive due to disease resistance, vigorous growth and complex aroma layers. Strata™ was released after seven years of testing and evaluation, initially released to a few breweries for further testing. Sometimes described as "passion fruit meets pot", it brings a lot of tropical layers to a dank, herbal notes of cannabis.

Inspired from the Gauls symbol "trikelion", ancestors of the modern French people.
