Bramling Cross is a rather rare breed and is mostly available in the UK. First harvested in 1927 at Wye College its lineage is a cross between Golding and a wild Manitoban (Canadian) hop. It is considered well suited to cask conditioned recipes as well as Christmas and fruit beers. Perhaps Brew Dog Brewery says it best when they speak of Bramling Cross as being elegant, refined, assured, (boring) and understated. They suggest people often don't use enough of Bramling Cross to let its true flavours and eccentricities shine. When used in large quantities the fruity element in Bramling Cross springs to life. This use exhibits complex fruity notes of lemon, blackcurrant and pear, particularly when used as a late addition. Some brewers have also recorded notes of blackberries and plums. Characteristics Notes of lemon, blackcurrant, blackberries and plums particularly when used as a late addition.

Pioneered in the 1950's by Jack Horner and his team at Oregon State University, Cascade hops have since gone on to become one of the most popular American hops of all time. Released in 1972, Cascade now represents around 10% of all hops grown in the United States. It features an excellent vigour and yield and when brewed exudes a distinct spicy citrus aroma with hints of grapefruit. Well suited to just about any ale and lager, its use is particularly popular in American Pale Ales. Its relatively poor storage stability tends to be a non-issue with its popularity and subsequent large production volumes from major US breweries ensuring harvests don't sit idle for long. Cascade was originally developed through open pollination of English variety Fuggles and the Russian variety Serebrianka and is named after the Cascade Range, the mountains that run from northern California all the way north to British Columbia, Canada.

Centennial owes its existence to a mix of Brewers Gold, Fuggles, East Kent Golding and Bavarian hops. Developed in 1974 and released in 1990, Centennial was pioneered by Charles (Chuck) Zimmerman and S.T. Kenny at Washington State University. It is at times referred to as super Cascade because of its similar citric characteristic. Centennial is a much-celebrated hop in its versatility with its depth of bitterness and forward aroma, two characteristics that balance each other beautifully. It is well suited to Pale Ales and IPAs with its high alpha content and is floral in both flavour and aroma. Centennial has had its ups and downs in the commercial brewing industry but is currently experiencing a return to popularity, particularly among leading craft breweries.

American aroma hop Citra was created by John I. Haas, Inc. and Select Botanicals Group joint venture, the Hop Breeding Company. It was released to the brewing world in 2008. Now one of the most coveted high-impact aroma hops in the US, particularly among craft brewers, it boasts a complex lineage that includes the likes of Hallertau Mittelfruh (father), Tettnanger (US), Brewers Gold and East Kent Golding. Gene Probasco is credited with having first bred Citra in 1990. After trialing the new variety with iconic craft breweries Deschutes, Sierra Nevada and others, commercial acreage was significantly expanded in the lead up to its official release. Citra, as the name implies, has a strong citrusy profile. This is largely credited to its very high myrcene content. It has an extraordinary flavour profile of grapefruit, lime and tropical fruits but despite its high alphas, brewers often warn against its use for bittering, which is considered by some to be harsh and undesirable.

The exact lineage of the proprietary hop Columbus is unknown. Its namesake was created in part as the result of a legal dispute between Hopunion and Yakima Chief when both parties attempted to patent the same hop. Yakima Chiefs variety was named Tomahawk. After an agreement was reached, both names were registered. They are technically the same hop however. Originally bred by Charles (Chuck) Zimmerman as part of a USDA breeding program sometime in the 1970s, Columbus is sometimes referred to at CTZ (Columbus, Tomahawk and Zues) though it is genetically distinct from Zues hops. It features a punchy hoppiness and deep, pensive aroma with understated citrus notes perfect as a dual use hop. Commonly used late in the boil and, when fresh, Columbus has a herbal flavour with a lemon citrus back note. Usable in a number of styles, notably American-style ales.

Officially registered in 1952, the original Saaz or Czech Saaz as it is sometimes known, has established itself as a staple variety for brewers and dates back more than 700 years. Originating in Zatec, Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic) it is an esteemed red-bine variety that is now grown around the world. New Zealand in particular has embraced Saaz, breeding several descendants including the popular Motueka and Riwaka varieties (B & D Saaz, respectively). Saaz is one of the four original Noble hops and has a distinctive and classic aroma. Known for its prominent use in Stella Artois and countless Bohemian Lagers and Pilsners. Its warm, herbal character stems from a high level of farnesene while its other oils are in fair balance. With such a low alpha acid percentage, Saaz is inarguably an aroma hop, however when used as an early addition it is thought to add a delicate bitterness. Additionally, its elevated content of polyphenols aids in abating oxidation, giving beer brewed with Saaz a notably longer shelf life. Growing Saaz is not without its difficulties. Specifically, it endures a meager yield, has weak mildew resistance and light cones. The original Saaz variety has been successfully cloned 9 times between 1952 and 1993 in an effort to improve these factors. Originally, growers were hesitant to hybridise, fearing the loss of its signature and delicate aroma. This hybridisation has become necessary though to breed resistance to wilt and mildew and make it a more viable crop. Despite these few shortcomings, breweries use it prolifically worldwide.

East Kent Golding is often thought of as the ultimate English hop. Grown exclusively in Kent, England and descended from Canterbury Whitebine, it is a centuries old variety. Despite claims to the contrary, it is identical to Canterbury Golding. The two names have been used interchangeably for some time with the confusion likely stemming from its namesake. Canterbury is a town in East Kent and the hop was first brought to market there in 1790. Some, however, charge to this day that East Kent Golding and Canterbury Golding are two distinct varieties though there is no clear evidence to support this. The variety began to be known exclusively as East Kent Golding in 1838. It has a good yield in England, but has shown to have an even better yield in Oregon after its introduction there in 1994. It has an amazing aroma profile with lavender, spice, honey and notes of thyme. Flavour-wise it is earthy and mildly bitter with a sweet, silky, honey-like character. East Kent Golding is considered to be the quintessential English hop, long held as one of the favourites for ales and pale ales.

East Kent Golding is often thought of as the ultimate English hop. Grown exclusively in Kent, England and descended from Canterbury Whitebine, it is a centuries old variety. Despite claims to the contrary, it is identical to Canterbury Golding. The two names have been used interchangeably for some time with the confusion likely stemming from its namesake. Canterbury is a town in East Kent and the hop was first brought to market there in 1790. Some, however, charge to this day that East Kent Golding and Canterbury Golding are two distinct varieties though there is no clear evidence to support this. The variety began to be known exclusively as East Kent Golding in 1838. It has a good yield in England, but has shown to have an even better yield in Oregon after its introduction there in 1994. It has an amazing aroma profile with lavender, spice, honey and notes of thyme. Flavour-wise it is earthy and mildly bitter with a sweet, silky, honey-like character. East Kent Golding is considered to be the quintessential English hop, long held as one of the favourites for ales and pale ales.

Ella hops, formally known as Stella, is an Australian aroma variety. It is half-sister to Galaxy and the progeny of Spalt and a tetraploid female and was developed in the state of Victoria in the early 2000s. By 2007, Ella was ready for release in brewing trials. An immediate hit, the variety was fast-tracked into commercial production. Due to its high level of oils, Ella can significantly change character depending on how it is utilised. When used in low quantities, it displays a spicy, floral character like star anise. When used in greater quantities or in dry hopping, it holds its own with any robust malt and conveys a decided tropical and grapefruit flavour. Also Known As Stella Characteristics Tropical flavours, grapefruit, star anise Purpose Aroma Alpha Acid 13.3%-16.3% Origin Australia Styles Lager, Pilsner, Pale Ale, Stout

Similar to a Styrian Golding, is noted for its distinct European aroma and has enjoyed a long, versatile run. At its peak nearly 100 years ago Fuggle was known as a dual-use hop.
