Pellet Hops

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

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

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 well rounded hop with a little spice but more woody and earthy tones. Can be used for bittering but more often used as an aroma hop, especially in British beers. Sam Smith's Pale Ale and Fullers ESB use EKG.

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

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.

Sorry, but we know longer carry Calypso hops! Head on over to our hops page, to see a list of the different varieties we have.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Super Pride is an Australian-grown hop that has some Pride of Ringwood parentage. It is basically a high alpha version of its lower-alpha counterpart. Pride of Ringwood is known for its earthy and woody characteristics, being mild and pleasant with some fruitiness and overall resin character. Super Pride has many of these same characteristics, but with higher alpha acids to provide more bitterness. It is typically used as a bittering hop with additions added to the kettle, as opposed to after primary in the fermentation vessel. However, use this variety however you see fit. Another great hop from Australia!

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

A good choice for aroma in English and American ales.

Floral, earthy, citrus, and grapefruit notes similar to Cascade or Amarillo, make this a good dual purpose hop. Named in honor of the area where Charles Carpenter established the first hop farm in 1869.

From the Moxee Valley of Washington State, comes a hop named after the legendary city of gold; El Dorado. 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.

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

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.

From Australia comes one of the most interesting new hops out on the market! Australian Summer is a wonderful hop full of melon and candy character. 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!
