Bred at Wye in 1970 from Northern Brewer and related to Challenger and Target. Medium level alpha and an appealing aroma profile make it an ideal dual-purpose hop. Aroma tends to fresh, floral pine but with a berry-like richness.
Makes a very good dual purpose and background hop across a wide range of Ales and Lagers. Berry notes are particularly effective in Mild, Old Ale and Barley Wine, Belgian Dubbel, Porter or Stout. May also suit Bock or Dunkel lager.
