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 for German lagers, Belgian and Trappist ales, farmhouse-style beers.

Flavor and 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.

• Germany

Suggested Substitute:

• Chinook, Galena

Alpha Acid Range:

• 7 – 10%
