American Horizon Whole Hops
10.2% Alpha Acid Units.
These are locally grown in here in California, and are a fine example of the breed.
Horizon are a great bittering hop because they typically offer a softer bitterness from the lower cohumulone levels.
Has similarities to Simcoe with a clean citrusy floral aroma with hints of orange.
A sister hop to Nugget, these are great for Browns, Porters, and other ales where a soft bitterness is desired.
Can contribute very pleasant flavors and is widely regarded as a good dual purpose hop.
Try in recipes that call for: Simcoe, Magnum, Hallertaur.
