Since this hop’s release in 2012, it’s become unmistakably one of the most popular hop varieties for brewers and beer drinkers across the world. With intense aromas of mango, pine, tangerine, and lime, this dual-purpose hop has become a workhorse variety on all sides of the brew and elevates any style of beer its used in. Mosaic is the first daughter of Simcoe and Nugget and showcases that lineage through its versatility in the brewing process as both a viable aroma and bittering option.
Known for its noble-like characteristics, this hop is the the product of a collaboration between the USDA and Oregon State University breeding programs. A descended of Magnum, its German roots shine through with its Hallertau-like aromas.

Known for being one of the four original noble hops, Saaz (or Czech Saaz) originated in Bohemia and has been a staple to brewers for over 700 years. With its low alpha acid content, Saaz is undeniably an aroma hop and is the defining flavor in Czech-style pilsners. This hop has pleasantly mild notes of sweet bread, and both woody and floral aromatics.
Known for its intense fruity and citrus flavors, this new release from the Hop Breeding Company is the product of the cross pollination of a Neomexicanas female.
Known for its subtle fruity and spicy notes amongst punchy citrus aromas. This hop is another less finicky descendant of Hallertauer Mittlefrüh that is well suited for Belgium Whites, German Lagers and Pilsners.
Known for being "Cascade on steroids," this high alpha dual-purpose variety makes for a nice foundational bittering hop, while still providing loads of value as an aroma hop on the cold side. It can be described as fruity and earthy, combining notes of berry, grapefruit, and apricot, with pronounced aromas of pine and resin. Simcoe can find a place in most hoppy-style beers, both as a bittering hop and as a late addition, and is a staple hop in some of the most revered West Coast IPAs.
