Beer Making
These varieties are usually low in alpha acids but high in essential oils. Brewers wishing to create high class, heavily hopped beers should use aroma hops for all three purposes. The bitterness imparted by aroma hops such as Goldings or Tettnang is totally different from that derived from high alpha varieties such as Northern Brewer or Target.

Centennial
from £4.50
This recently introduced variety, which was once called CFJ90, is being used to great effect by American brewers in both APA and IPA styles. Cross bred from Brewers Gold it has floral qualities with delicate citrus notes similar to that of Cascade. It is a good dual purpose hop variety for either bittering or flavour/aroma additions.
