Azacca is another great contender for your latest hazy tropical IPA. Grown in the US, this hop has tropical fruit aromas with a touch of citrus, and on the palate you get spicy, with pineapple, mango and some pine and tangerine. What's not to like?

The true Tettnang Tettnanger is grown only around its native village of Tettnang in Germany - however this is the US grown variety. It is considered a noble aroma hop and has been compared to both Hallertauer and Saazer, but Tettnanger has notably more farnesene content than Hallertauer. They carry a distinct floral and spicy aroma, and, despite the low alpha acids (up to 5%), they are considered to have a balanced "hoppy flavor".

The alpha acid content of hops will vary from batch to batch and may vary from the amount shown in the picture.

Our newest addition to new world hops that are great for any type of hop forward beer is described as having big tropical aroma and flavour, like apricot, orange, red grapefruit, papaya mixed with pine and a hint of black tea. It's high oil content makes it great for whirlpool and dry hop additions.

In fact, modern hop guru and author of hop bible "The NEW IPA" Scott Janish wrote an article about how Idaho 7 shines especially when used in hot side additions (think whirlpool / hop stand). Have a read here.

typical alpha acid: 14%

Named after musician Frank Zappa, Zappa™ hops are a 100% neomexicanus aroma hop that came from the mountains of New Mexico.

Capturing the essence of Frank Zappa, this hop developed its own rebellious aroma and unique flavour characteristics of passionfruit, mint, spice, tropical fruits, and fruity pebbles.

Use for aroma, whirlpool, and dry hopping additions. Highly recommended for fruit-forward styles like hazy or milkshake IPAs, as well as fruited sours, pale ales, and wild or mixed-fermentation beers.

Alpha Range: 7-9%

Strata is a super exciting new hop and has blown away commercial brewers in the states with it's uniqueness and complexity. It's been described to show layers of different fruit flavors, dried and fresh, anchored with a dried chili-cannabis-funk. Late hop side additions bring out layers of tropical and bright-fresh fruit flavors; dry hopping yields more grapefruit and cannabis. No, you can't smoke it.

AA ranges in the 11-13%.
