Bramling Cross
Hop Variety Characteristics and Specifications

Hop Variety Description

Bred from a cross in 1927 between Bramling (one of the traditional Golding varieties) and a male seedling of the Manitoban (Canadian) wild hop. Also known as OT48, this variety was developed at Wye College by Professor Salmon.It has a strong spice and blackcurrant flavour and firm but pleasant bittering. Bramling Cross has made something of a comeback in traditional cask conditioned beers because of these distinctive characteristics. Brews particularly well with crystal malts.
