American Summit Organic Whole Hops
| 13% Avg. Alpha. Our new shipment of farm fresh whole Summit hops have arrived! We ordered a full bale of these hops and the pungent aromas of herbal and citrus wafted through the warehouse as we quickly packed it into oxy-barrier foil vacuum bags to capture the strong, pleasant aroma through the rest of the year. Grown in the Yakima Valley of the Pacific Northwest by a family farm with generations of experience growing hops, and one of the first to grow certified organic hops on a large scale here in the United States. These are bittering hops with a strong citrus or grapefruit aroma. The strong pungent aroma has herbal notes reminiscent of a good Australian Pride of Ringwood hop. With the strong citrus character, Summit is a good choice for an American style IPA. Summit is the first dwarf hop to be bred for production in the United States. They are grown on a low trellis requiring hand picking so the hop cones are hand selected and less damaged than machine harvested hops. Recommended substitute for Galena, Simcoe, Cascade, or Pride of Ringwood. |
