Pellet Hops

This slightly spicy, floral and earthy hop is used primarily for aroma in some light ales and German lagers.

The floral and earthy aroma is perfect finishing hop in light ales and lagers.

A great choice for aroma (especially dry hopping) and flavor additions in British beers.

The US version of this hop has even higher alpha acid levels, that provide a clean, neutral bitterness. Great bittering backbone in almost any recipe.

Vanguard Hops is an aroma variety and carries similar characteristics as Hallertau. The low alpha acids with higher beta acids, and staggering low co-humulone content make for very smooth and subtle bitter qualities. Vanguard is ripe for German-Style beers, but its application does not stop there. It is going to add to the aroma complexity for any number of ales, including Stouts and Imperial Stouts.

A high alpha hop with low cohumulone levels making its bitterness less harsh than hops higher in cohumulone. Profile is very citrusy with some woodiness. Lovely as a dry hop.

An American hop variety, that has been described as a "super cascade". Flavor profile is tropical and very citrusy, especially leaning toward a distinct orange flavor and aroma. This is the signature hop featured in Three Floyd's Gumball Head.

Citrus bomb pretty much sums it up. It is a high alpha version of Cascade, but slightly more pungent. Can be used for bittering anywhere you would use Cascade, but as an aroma/flavor hop, it can be quite intense due to the high essential oil content (can be as much as twice the typical oil content of Cascade), so compensate accordingly. Centennial is the star of Bell's Two Hearted Ale.

Excellent high alpha hop with balanced bittering properties. Starting to find favor as a dual purpose hop as well with its aroma characteristics.

Herbal and somewhat citrusy. Originally used for bittering but has been used successfully as a flavor and aroma addition as well.

High alpha and low co-humulone makes Horizon a good bittering hop with out the harshness. Aroma is both floral and spicy.

A classic noble variety hop that is floral and earthy, reminiscent of a woods after the rain.

A mildly resiny/spicy English hop similar to East Kent Goldings that can be used early and late in the kettle. A very clean bittering hop.

Delivers soft bitterness with desirable aroma; well suited for "up-front" additions in dryer lager styles.

It was released in 2010, but went through a period where it wasn't available to the homebrew community, but now it is! Elicits responses of fruity notes, specifically tropical fruit flavors. Other fruit notes offered have been pear, watermelon candy and stone fruit.

Originally marketed as a Saaz substitute, Tettnanger is one of the Noble hops (in both schools of thought). It is herbal, slightly woody, slightly spicy. Tettnanger is appropriate in German, Bohemian, and American Lagers.

It has a very bright profile that is fruity and works in a number of different ales. Australian Summer is perfect as a flavor or aroma hop, and can be well-utilized as a dry hop too! As a flavor or aroma hop, Australian summer is well balanced, with fruit, melon, apricot and candy notes. Dry hopping is said to infuse stone fruit and melon character into beer. Perfect for pale ales and IPAs, let your imagination set the limit for how you use this extraordinary hop!

Previously used only for bittering but recently has been used in combination with other hops for flavoring and aroma. Flavor and aroma are a little "rough". Allegedly used in Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale.

Very distinct, very pungent. Aromas of citrus, onion, garlic, diesel fuel. Best used in small amounts with other hops.

A true dual purpose hop. Woody, earthy and sometimes Rosemary-like.
