Northdown was released by Wye College in 1970; it is a seedling of Northern Brewer, crossed with a Downy mildew-resistant male. It is an “aunt” of Challenger and Target. An excellent all round hop in the dual-purpose bracket with good alpha and aroma properties. Imparts a very soft bitterness and herbal, woody flavours late in the boil.
