Ariana is a new hop variety from Germany, and it's definitely not typically German! It shows aromas and flavours of black berries, blackcurrant, peach, pear, tropical fruits and resinous. Sounds to us like a great hop to try in your next hop forward beer. Try pairing it with some big new world hops (Citra/Mosaic etc) to increase flavour depth.

AA is usually around 9-13%.
