Hop Variety Description

Possibly the result of a cross between an English variety and an American wild male hop. The standard US cultivar for decades, improved by mass selection in the mid 1960s. Mid-level alpha acid levels but gives a very well balanced bittering. Gives great depth of character with a strong dark fruit flavour if used heavily
