Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the bitter-aromatic group and is characterized by a mid-season to late maturity group with a growing period of about 120 days. The plant has a normal growth habit, weak anthocyanin coloration of the main stem, and forms medium-sized closed-type cones.

The hop is distinguished by high resistance to Verticillium wilt, downy mildew, and powdery mildew, as well as winter hardiness, which allows for mechanical harvesting. Yield ranges from 13.5 to 19.4 c/ha.

The alpha-acid content is 12–16.2% with a low cohumulone level, which ensures a mild bitterness profile. Due to a high content of essential oils, such as myrcene and humulene, the variety possesses aromas with earthy, floral, and citrus notes, which allows it to be used as a dual-purpose hop.
