Palisade®

Believe to have be be of Tettnanger decent from the Yakima valley by Yakima Chief Ranch.

Perle

Released commercially in 1978, Perle was bred in Hüll, Germany at the Hop Research Center, is a cross between Northern Brewer and German male. Perle was bred to create a more resistant version of Hallertau.

Perle (US)

The same as the German Perle but with a higher alpha content.

Pioneer

Bred at Wye College in Kent, England in 1984, released commercially in 1996. Pioneer is a dual purpose hop.

Progress

Another hop developed by the United Kingdom's Wye College by the Horticulture Research International, Progress was created to replace Fuggle. Less susceptible to Wilt disease (the issue with Fuggle), Progress proved to be susceptible to other diseases. Bred in 1951 from Whitebread Golding female and US male. Commercially released in 1964.

Rakau

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

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.

Target was bred in the 70s, released to the public in 1972 by Wye College. The hop has lineage of Northern Brewer and Eastwell Goldings. It is a cousin to Challenger, but more assertive. It has become a widely grown hop. Typically used to add aroma to English ale and lagers.

Triple Perle

Triple Perle is an upgraded Perle with better aroma qualities. Released by the USDA in 2013 it is a bred from Perle and an unknown male.

Triskel

Triskel is bred from Strisselspalt and the male parent of the English Yeoman hop in 2006 by Comptoir Agricole in Alcase, France. An aroma similar to Strisselspalt and floral notes from Yeoman with a touch more fruitiness. High essential oils make the hop a champ for dry hopping. Inspired from the Gauls symbol "trikelion", ancestors of the modern French people.

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 percetages 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.
