This relatively new American variety is a cross of Hallertauer Mittelfruh, U.S. Tettnanger, East Kent Golding, Bavaria, and Brewers Gold.
It has a high alpha hop with a heavy citrus aroma and flavour with hints of tropical fruits. Although still new, it is fast gaining favour as a dual purpose hop.
