Analyses
Typical Aroma Profile
The unique wealth of contrast in its flavour profile is demonstrated by the spicy woodiness of juniper, combined with red fruits, such as strawberry. In the cold infusion, on the other hand, aromas of citrus,bergamot, lemon grass, black tea and green fruits set the tone.
*Alpha acids are determined by conductometric titration (EBC 7.4) in Europe, by spectrophotometry (ASBC Hops-6) in the USA. Oil composition is determined by gas chromatography (ASBC Hops-17, EBC 7.12).
All values represent the medium range of the last 4 years. Be aware that specifically the alpha and oil values can vary in a broad range depending on the relevant crop year.
