Description
Olympic has a complex lineage. Though its predominantly genetically derived from Brewer's Gold, it also owes its existence to Fuggle, East Kent Golding, a so-called “Bavarian” seedling and a fifth, unknown variety. As a result, Olympic is a spicy and citrus laden hop. It’s grown primarily in Washington State and was released in the mid 1980s. It enjoyed solid growth upon its release reaching around one percent of total US hops production in 1986. However by 1997 this figure had halved.
