Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the mid-early or mid-season maturity group. The plants have high growth potential, forming a vigorous aerial part. The variety shows good resistance to verticillium wilt and downy mildew. The yield is 1600–2000 kg/ha.

The alpha-acid content varies from 3.0% to 6.5%. The total essential oil content is 0.6–0.9 ml/100 g with a high farnesene content. The aromatic profile includes spicy, woody, herbal, and floral notes.

The hop is used in brewing to provide aroma to traditional European beer styles such as lagers, pilsners, helles, and kölsch. Due to the low cohumulone level, it is valued for its mild bitterness.
