- Alpha acids: 5.5-9%, Beta 4.2-8.3%, carries a relatively high cohumulone
- Aroma: earthy, strong orange citrus notes- however quite harsh
- Yield: Reported as having medium to high yields, cones are long catkin-type
- Storage stability: Unknown
- Maturity: Early
- Beer styles: Browns, Dark Ales, being used by craft brewers in Colorado
- Grower notes: Heat tolerant and not suitable in cool wet climates and soils. Long cones lower pick-ability. This species does poorly under constant drip irrigation and needs a complete re-think on hop field culture compared to H. lupulus varieties. May allow commercial hop production in areas southern areas that were considered too hot previously.
- 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.
