Topaz™
TOP

Australia

This Aussie flavor hop bred by HPA was originally selected as an alpha hop for the production of alpha extract, but brewers have since found that late additions of Topaz™ in large doses leads to exotic lychee and tropical fruit flavors that really shine in session beer styles.

In beer, Topaz™ is a sunny ray of sweet-sour lychee and earthy tropical fruit flavors. Whole cone hop sensory analysis recognizes a fruity combination of blackberry, gooseberry, blueberry, blackcurrant and passion fruit, rounded out by resinous notes of grapefruit.

*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.
