Sultana™ hops are a bold and expressive American variety developed by CLS Farms in Washington State. Originally known as Experimental #06277, Sultana™ hops were officially named and released to the brewing world for their massive aroma and flavor impact. With their high oil content and tropical character, they’ve quickly become a favorite among brewers looking to create juicy, hop-forward beers.
Sultana™ hops deliver a vibrant mix of pineapple, citrus, and pine with subtle hints of spice and floral undertones. Their aroma is often described as “big and sticky,” making them ideal for hazy IPAs, pale ales, and fruit-forward styles. With alpha acids typically ranging from 11.5% to 13.5%, Sultana™ hops offer solid bittering potential alongside their intense aroma.
These hops shine in late boil additions and dry hopping, where their tropical and citrus notes are most pronounced. Despite their bold character, Sultana™ hops maintain a smooth bitterness that supports drinkability and balance.
Brewers choose Sultana™ hops for their ability to deliver bold flavors without overwhelming the palate. They pair well with other expressive varieties like Sabro®, Mosaic®, or Citra®, allowing for layered and juicy hop profiles. Sultana™ hops also work well in single-hop beers, where their complexity can take center stage.
In the field, Sultana™ hops are known for their strong yields and reliable growth. Their agronomic performance makes them a practical choice for hop growers and a consistent option for brewers. This reliability ensures a steady supply of high-quality cones season after season.
