An unusual hop which is said to impart very characteristic grape-like flavors to beer; very suitable for producing new beers of unique and different flavors.
Originally bred in Germany as a disease resistant alternative to Hallertauer Mittelfruh. Extremely clean almost minty bitterness. It is very appropriate for German Lagers & Ales but can be used across many styles.
Pacific Gem is a very high alpha hop with a pleasant citrus aroma good for bitters and dark beers. Some brewers have reported that Pacific Gem provides a subtle "blackberry" flavor/taste, which is a popular characteristic for English bitters and stouts.
