SAAZ HOPS US

Known for unique fruity flavor yet high bitterness this hop was released in 2010 by CLS Farms in Moxee Valley.

Known for its balanced flavor/aroma, this versatile hop was released in 1990 by Washington State University and is sometimes referred to as Super Cascade.

Known for being "Cascade on steroids," this high alpha dual-purpose variety makes for a nice foundational bittering hop, while still providing loads of value as an aroma hop on the cold side. It can be described as fruity and earthy, combining notes of berry, grapefruit, and apricot, with pronounced aromas of pine and resin. Simcoe can find a place in most hoppy-style beers, both as a bittering hop and as a late addition, and is a staple hop in some of the most revered West Coast IPAs.

Known for its intense citrus notes, this hop has quickly gained popularity amongst brewers and consumers alike and is widely considered one of the most popular varieties for hoppy beer styles since its release in 2007 by Hop Breeding Co. Ltd. Citra’s popularity is obvious for a reason, lending notes of intensely ripe citrus, apricot, peach, and lime aromas to beers. Its intense hop profile is in part due to its high Myrcene oil percentages and high Alpha Acid, despite not being a viable bittering hop. This hop pairs well with other varieties like Pink, El Dorado, Idaho 7, or holds its own well in hop-forward beers.
