- Alpha acids: 3.3-9.7% , low cohumulone
- Aroma: Mild flavor, citrusy sweet-type aroma (unique flavor )
- Yield: 2400 -2600 lbs/ acre
- Storage stability: good
- Maturity: Mid-season
- Grower notes: Good newer “French”variety that grows similar to Crystal, compares well with Challenger and Viking varieties with bigger potential yields. Smaller dense cones that are sticky with resin. Alphas are boosted and plant responds well to additional humic acid and bone meal fertilization in our Michigan trials. Tolerates heavier type soils if pH range is correct and is not over-watered. Raised row required unless grown in sandy soil types
- Fully rooted plant - NOT a rhizome. A rhizome is a part of a hop plant's root system that grows horizontally underground putting out shoots.
