Hop Variety Description

A cross between Smoothcone and a 1950’s research variety comprised of an American/Fuggle cross; it was released from HortResearch in 1994. This variety will impart a soft bitterness with a subtle resinous quality, delivering a delicate balance of citrus and spice when added toward the end of the boil. A mid-season maturing hop with a good yield – this variety will take an early, vigorous growth and produce a cylindrical, long cone structure reaching 5 cm in length. All New Zealand hops are disease free.
