Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the category of dwarf hops, which allows for cultivation on low trellis systems approximately 2.5 meters high and the use of mechanical harvesting. The plant was created within a breeding program focused on increasing resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew.

The variety is primarily classified as bitter; however, due to the specific composition of essential oils, it can be used as a bitter-aromatic variety or for late kettle additions. The profile of the variety is distinguished by a distinct, refreshing taste and aroma that includes citrus and spicy undertones.
