Cascade is an aroma hop that was developed by the U.S.D.A. breeding program in Oregon and released in 1972. It has a medium strength aroma that provides a unique floral/spicy character with well balanced bittering potential. Cascade is the most popular hop with the U.S. craft brewing industry. Fruity citrus quality leaning toward grapefruit.
Chinook was developed by the U.S.D.A. breeding program in Washington State and released in 1985 as a high alpha variety. It has a highly acceptable beer aroma profile with smooth bitterness and full flavor and spicy/citrus/pine notes.
Comet was bred to address the need for higher alpha hops, its flavor profile rests heavily on a strong accent of grapefruit. It features solid bitter capabilities, but recently there has been a surge in its use as a dry hop in ales and IPA’s for it's citrus, fruity and earthy qualities
Magnum is a high alpha variety that was developed at the Hop Research Center in Huell, Germany. It is widely grown in the Hallertau region of Germany, and is also grown in the U.S. Magnum is a good bittering hop with low flavor and aroma - for Ales and Lagers.
