From time to time, I try to keep the beer loving public up to date with new up to date regarding new hops that you might be seeing in beers in the future. Two more have come to my attention….
- Ariana – according to Crosby Hop Farms, ” One of the latest unique aroma varieties to come from the Hop Research Center in Hüll, Germany, this high-yield cultivar is a cross between Herkules and a wild male, and ranges in flavor from blackcurrant and grapefruit to geranium and vanilla. “
- Moutere – according to New Zealand Hops, “developed at New Zealands Plant and Food Research and released in 2015. The essential oil profile displays characteristics of intense fruit, citrus and resinous pine. Delivers intense fruity oils with top notes of baking spice and sweet hay.”
