A distinguished and widely respected hop variety, this classic cultivar shares some similarities with Fuggle while possessing a character all its own. Renowned for its elegant aroma, it delivers a refined, perfume-like hop bouquet that has long been favoured in traditional European lager brewing.
Its aromatic profile offers a delicate balance of floral notes and bright citrus, with hints of fresh lemon and lime adding a refreshing dimension to the finished beer. These qualities make it particularly well suited to lighter, golden-coloured beers where subtle hop character can shine without overwhelming the malt profile.
While prized primarily for its expressive aroma, this variety also contributes a smooth, mild bitterness that enhances balance and drinkability. Its gentle nature allows brewers to create beers with sophistication, elegance, and remarkable harmony.
