Discover the Bold Flavour of Eureka!™ Hops

Eureka!™ hops are an American variety celebrated for their vibrant aroma and versatile brewing potential. Known for tropical fruit, citrus, and stone fruit notes, Eureka!™ hops provide both bitterness and aromatic depth. Brewers often use them for dual-purpose applications, making them ideal for IPAs, pale ales, and modern craft lagers.

Origins and Characteristics of Eureka!™ Hops

Eureka!™ hops were developed in the United States to combine high alpha acids with aromatic intensity. They typically contain 15–17% alpha acids, delivering firm, clean bitterness.

Consequently, Eureka!™ hops suit both traditional American-style beers and innovative craft recipes.
