"Origin: USA. Cluster is the oldest hop variety grown in the US, and until relatively recently it accounted for the majority of the acreage as well. Though it's exact history is unknown, the prevailing theory of its origin is pollination of hop varieties cultivated by English and Dutch settlers by indigenous wild hops. Usage: With balanced bittering and pungent yet... Read More
"Origin: Washington, USA. The collective umbrella for the closely-related varieties Columbus, Tomahawk, and Zeus. Bred for high alpha potential, each variety shares parentage with Nugget. Usage: Excellent bittering capability as originally intended, but craft brewers have also harnessed CTZ's intense, citrus-and-spice pungence for American-style IPAs. Aroma &... Read More
"Origin: USA. Comet is a cross of English hops with a wild American variety and was first released in 1974. Commercial production actually ceased in the 1980s as it was phased out in favor of new super-high alpha varieties. Recently however, it has enjoyed a comeback thanks to its unique profile. Usage: Intended as high-alpha bittering hop when first released,... Read More
"Origin: Oregon, USA. Bred at Corvallis in 1983, as a domestic substitute for Hallertau Mittelfrüh, Crystal is half-sister to Liberty and Mount Hood. Its stock includes German Hallertau, Cascade, Brewers Gold, and Early Green. Usage: Unsurprisingly, given its Hallertau parentage, Crystal excels in continental lager and wheat styles, as well as Belgian ales. But... Read More
"CO2 Hop Extract is a pure resin produced through supercritical CO2 extraction, whereby the essential bittering and aromatic compounds of hops (alpha acids, beta acids, and oils) are separated from the leafy plant material. The extraction process removes solids, while the CO2 is recovered and reused. The final resin is then analyzed for brewing values and packaged... Read More
"Origin: US Grown. Moxee Valley of Washington. The Moxee Valley is a sub-growing district of the Yakima Valley and has a slightly cooler climate and is located in the northern part of the Yakima Valley. Due to its cooler temperatures, outstanding aroma crops are grown there. El Dorado® was developed by CLS Farms, LLC in 2008 and released in 2010. CLS Farms in a... Read More
HS-Evergreen™ announces its presence with strong suggestions of fresh peach and apricot, bright citrus (lemon candy, orange zest, tangerine), and watermelon candy. Green notes of fresh hay and pine needles round out a classic American craft beer hop profile. Secondary and tertiary notes include menthol, dank, geranium, herbs (basil, dill, thyme), cannabis,...

"Galena's fruity flavor profile really kicks with clean and agreeable notes of citrus. Some brewers have noted its better when boiled in smaller quantities and that later additions bring forth stronger aromas of blackcurrant. Directly descended from Brewer's Gold, Galena was brought about via open pollination and was officially selected in 1968 by agricultural... Read More
"Origin: USA. An experimental variety from Jackson Hop Farm in Wilder ID, first released in 2015.

It is a triploid daughter of Hallertau Mittelfrüh and a downy mildew-resistant USDA male, #64035M. Of the four sister hops, is considered to most closely resemble its German mother. Usage: Designed as a substitute for Hallertau... Read More
HOP HISTORY
In 2011, we attempted to revive the variety “Columbia”, a full sister to Willamette. Not widely grown, we thought this overlooked variety might find favour with craft brewers, so planted a field. The first harvest (2012) brought us hops that clearly were not in the aroma/flavour genre of Columbia, and genetic testing... Read More
"Origin: USA. Known as HBC 369 until its release in 2012, Mosaic® is a new variety from the Hop Breeding Company, LLC. It is a daughter of Simcoe and a Nugget-derived male. Usage: Mosaic® is often compared to an amplified Citra®, with which it shares a respectable alpha content but a highly-desired oil profile as well. This unique oil profile makes it most... Read More

It is right at home in... Read More

Formerly known as HS-1228, Sequoia's sensory profile is a mix of tropical fruit and classic West Coast hop character, making it well-suited for a hazy or juicy IPA and other hop-forward styles
"With a high alpha percentage and low cohumulone, it makes a very nice foundational bittering hop. It is also noted though for its favorable aroma qualities. It has a pleasantly fruity, yet earthy herbal and piney aroma."
Specifically designed for hazy IPA and hop-forward styles, Sitiva gives strong expression of stone fruit, sweet floral, and soft peach flavours and aromas, as well as tropical fruit and lime character.
"Origin: USA. Originally developed in the 1980s in Japan for Sapporo, recent years have the hop gaining acreage in the Pacific Northwest. Its parentage includes Brewers Gold, Saaz, and Beikei No. 2. Usage: Dual purpose. With a potent alpha acid level, Sorachi Ace is a more than capable bittering hop. Its unique aromatics make it welcome in styles that embrace... Read More

It was released in 1998 as a higher-alpha replacement for Saaz with improved disease resistance and storability.
