Admiral

United Kingdom / Pellet Hops / 14.3%

Description

released in 1996, Admiral is an excellent mid-season hop variety derived from Challenger and Northdown, and was introduced as a potential high-alpha replacement or complimentary addition to Target hops. It features higher acid content than either of its elders, possesses aggressive but smooth bittering qualities and boasts an orange-citrus and herbal resonance. This profile makes it a favorable choice for more bitter Pale Ales and ESBs.
