Northern Brewer Leaf Hops 2 oz.

Description

An offspring of Brewer�s Gold with some ancestry from an American wild hop, this English-bred high alpha variety later found favor and acreage all over the world. In Germany it�s known primarily as a bittering hop. German-grown Northern Brewer has a more �noble� and less pungent profile than when grown elsewhere, which makes it suited to a variety of traditional European styles where a strong or �American� hop signature may not be appropriate – German lagers, Belgian and Trappist ales, farmhouse-style beers.
Aroma: Predominantly spicy with an undercurrent of woods and wild fruit, suggestive of its Brewer�s Gold parentage. Overall balanced with lasting flavor that reads as simply �hoppy� – not as outright woodsy and bright as US-grown Northern Brewer.
Alpha Acid: 6-10%
