American Pie® has a mother of Riwaka™ and a father of Tangerine Dream®, bred by Wild About Hops in New Zealand.
Bitter Gold was released in 1999 and has lineage linked to Brewer's Gold, Bullion, Comet and Fuggle.

Mild profile when used as a bittering addition but shines in later additions, delivering stone and tropic fruit flavors.
Dr. Rudi was bred by HortResearch as a an open pollination of Smoothcone. Released in 1976. A true definition of a dual use as it has smoother bitterness and good aroma qualities.

Green Bullet™ was bred by the New Zealand Hop Research Committee to be resistant to Black Root Rot disease, a disease that decimated hops in the 1940s in New Zealand. 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.
Hallertau has lineage back over 100 years. Great for German beers as well as Belgian ales. An original noble hop. Susceptible to disease, it has been the center of many offspring.
Hallertauer Tradition is a German hop that is great for German style beers. Originally bred because of it's resistance to disease at the Hüll Hop Research Institute in Germany in 1993. Heritage of Hallertau, Saaz and unknown varieties.
Hersbrucker represents a large acreage in Germany, named for the region in which it is primarily grown (also in the Hallertau region) as it replaced the traditional Hallertau since it is more disease resistant. Acreage peaked in the 70s and 80s.

Magnum (US) is grown in much lower acreage than in Germany, but, like it's German counterpart, is a great bittering hop.
Mellow Yellow® was bred by Wild About Hops from Hersbrucker seed brought over by German immigrants. The gentle and subtle profile lend to the hops name: Mellow Yellow.
Merkur is a descendant of Magnum, making it a great bittering hop. The lower co-humulone level makes it an even smoother bitterness. Dual purpose as it also adds a nice aroma profile. Merkur was developed at the Hop Research Institute in Hüll, Germany.
Opal was bred by Hüll Hop Research Institute in 2001, released commercially in 2004. The hop has not been well received the commercial breweries.
The same as the German Perle but with a higher alpha content.
Purple Haze® was bred by Wild About Hops from a Riwaka™ female and a Nelson Sauvin™ male with a Saaz grand parent. A soft bitterness and Saaz heritage make it ideal for lagers. Purple Haze gets it name from the deep purple hue of the bine it grows on.
United States version of Saaz was started from a Czechoslovakian Saaz seedling which was received by United States Department of Agriculture in 1973. Difficult to grow and a low yield. Saaz (US) is expected to be related to Hersbrucker and Spalt.
Santiam is a triploid hop: 1/3 of each Tettnanger, Hallertau and a unknown USDA male (derived from Cascade), released in 1997 by Agriculture Research Service, which is the principal in-house research agency of the United States Department of Agriculture, located in Corvallis, Oregon.
Grown in the Spalt region of Germany, Spalt is a natural hop and has a mild and pleasant character. Part of the Saaz family. A classic hop for German style beers. Due to Spalt being a natural hop, this hop may date back as far back as 8th century. It was the first hop granted the German hop seal in the 16th century.
Sterling was bred by United States Department of Agriculture in 1990, released in 1998. Sterling is typically considered an aroma hop but may be used for bittering. It was cultivated to be a replacement for Saaz due to unreliable availability. The hop is a bit of a mutt (or you could say complex) with heritage from Saaz (50%), Cascade (25%), Brewer's Gold, Early Green as well as other Eurpean varieties.
Saaz lineage grant Sylva perfect suitability for lagers and pilsners. Bred in 1997 by Hop Products Australia.

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