Hop Variety Description

Styrian Dragon is a Slovenian aroma hop developed by the Institute of Hop Research and Brewing in Žalec, bred from a mix of European and American germplasm. Known for its vibrant and expressive character, Styrian Dragon delivers floral citrus notes, and tropical fruit aromas. Typically used in late boil additions and dry hopping, it’s a versatile choice for hop-forward beers, pairing especially well with modern IPAs and styles from American, Belgian, and British brewing traditions.
