A relatively new experimental hop that has all sorts of flavor and aroma characteristics that you wouldn't expect to see together. Cocoa, tropical, stone fruit, passion fruit, carmel, anise, and did we mention Jolly Rancher!
Alpha Acid Range: 14 - 15%
A well rounded hop with a little spice but more woody and earthy tones. Can be used for bittering but more often used as an aroma hop, especially in British beers. Sam Smith's Pale Ale and Fullers ESB use EKG.
A great choice for aroma (especially dry hopping) and flavor additions in British beers.
