Simcoe Hops is a dual purpose hops with high bittering potential. The aroma in Simcoe Hops is complex, and this is part of what explains its popularity with bold hop heavy ales.

Popular American development in 1976 of the English Fuggle. It has a character similar to Fuggle, but is more fruity and has some floral notes. Used in British and American ales.

The Amarillo variety was discovered by Virgil Gamache Farms Inc. in one of their hop yards in Washington State and propagated and introduced by them as Amarillo. Unlike most varieties of hops, which may be acquired and propagated by the purchase of rhizomes, Amarillo hops are privately grown only by Virgil Gamache Farms; also the organization holds a trademark on the name "Amarillo" for hops.

Ahtanum boasts a floral bouquet matched with citrus essence. The high amounts of both myrcene and caryophyllene both contribute to the sweet and slightly spicy, or peppery character of this American hop variety.

A high yielding, high alpha acid American bittering hop. One of the "Three Cs" along with Cascade and Centennial. Like the others it is citrusy and slightly woody. Columbus has a very high amount of total oils, and can impart a 'resiny' quality to a beer.

Columbus is also known by the trade name Tomahawk, and is part of the group of almost identical sister varieties known as CTZ for Columbus, Tomahawk and Zeus. We purchase whichever of these three is currently available, and they are all interchangable with each other.

Substitutes for bittering: Nugget, Chinook. Substitutes for aroma and flavor: Cascade, Centennial.

US Cascade has a pleasant, flowery and spicy, citrus-like quality with a slight grapefruit characteristic. The hop is good for both flavor and aroma uses. It can also be used for bittering effectively, and can be used to make any ales, and indeed is characteristic of American Pale Ales; used in some Lagers.

Magnum is a German variety (also grown in the US) and daughter of Galena. It is a high alpha cultivar and is often used as the base bittering variety. Magnum does not display any distinct aroma characteristics, however, subtle spice and fruit characteristics have been noted by some brewers.

Actually a blend of American hops, specifically designed by Hop Union for American Pale Ale (APA) and India Pale Ale (IPA) style beers. Reportedly a blend of Simcoe, Citra, Palisade and Amarillo, it has distinct tropical (pineapple) and citrus tones, with slight pine characteristics.

Alora™, the latest aroma hop from the Hopsteiner Breeding Program, is best known for its unique oil composition, high 3MH thiol precursors, and tantalizing aroma. Key benefits include:

• More than 50 percent of total oils are selinene—a sesquiterpene rarely found in hops
• Has five times more bound 3MH thiol precursors than Cascade
• Offers a low carbon footprint with stacked disease resistance
• Has an aroma of peach, apricot, yuzu fruit, sweet melon with an alpha range of 7–10%.
