Styrian Aurora – 2019

Aurora is an aroma variety bred at the Slovenian Institute of Hop Research and Brewing in Žalec from the English variety Northern Brewer and Slovenian genetic hop germplasm.  This variety is recognized for its excellent agronomic traits in hop production and processing.  Aurora is known for its pleasant hop aroma and bitterness and is most common in character to German Perle.  Profile descriptions include mellow tropical fruit, lime, floral, pine, bergamot, lemongrass, and aniseed.  Works well with classic European and British styles where noble characteristics are desired.  This is an important hop for lager production globally.
