Hallertauer Tradition

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.

Lórien®

Lórien® was purposely bred, by Indie Hops Flavor Project, to be used in low gravity beers, in an attempt to keep up with the trend of the public towards lighter, low-alcohol, carbonated beverages. Designed by Shaun Townsend, at Oregon State University, the seed for Lorien was gathered in 2010 from Sterling female pollinated with a German male. Lemon and lime forward with notes of hay and melon that is swept away by cinnamon, while allowing the beers malts to shine.

Motueka

Motueka was bred by New Zealand's Plant & Food Research, a triploid descendant of Saaz. A great dual purpose hop.

Saaz

Saaz, a noble hop, is low in alpha acids but is still used for bittering quite often. Saaz was officially registered in 1952 but dates back at least 700 years, originating in the Czech Republic. It is one of the original noble hops. Saaz has issue with disease and low growth rate.

Saaz (US)

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.

Willamette

Willamette is a Fuggle (Tetraploid Fuggle (USDA 21003) x Fuggle seedling 2-4) derived hop released in 1976 by the United States Department of Agriculture, initially bred in 1967. It's name is derived from the important growing region in Oregon: the Willamette Valley, which has been growing hops since the 1850s.

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.
