Product Description

​​​Each item is one complete dormant crown, or a field-ready plant, depending on time of year: a plant that is a minimum of 1 growing season old with a well developed root system with multiple breaks taken from healthy vigorous stock.  It is professional quality and since it is a live rooted plant, it offers the best chance of successfully growing and producing your favorite varieties of hops.
  • Alpha acids: 5-6%, betas 5-7%, cohumulone 14-15%, total oils .8-1.20ml/100g, myrcene 20%, humulene 43%
  • Aroma:  very fragrant refined noble aroma of woody spice.
  • Yield: very good for a noble type hop- 1200-1600 lbs/acre
  • Maturity: medium to late
  • Storage stability: similar to other noble aroma types – should be refrigerated.
  • Beer styles: Best used as a late-addition finishing hop in many beer styles where extra aroma is desired. Excellent for wet-hopping seasonal beers.
