Plant description
This humulus was bred by the hop research centre Hüll Hallertau in Germany and is fast becoming the favourite variety grown for beer in Europe. It is also a widely grown variety in the USA, being a hop with a clean bitterness and a subtle citrus flavour. As a plant it is a vigorous deciduous twining climber, with light green deeply lobed leaves and cone-like fragrant flowers, followed by the characteristic hops which are attractive as they are, or more importantly perhaps, great for beer making!
