Notes:
AlphAroma has the distinction of being grown in New Zealand which, for hops, is considered a disease-free habitat. As such, it is neither grown nor available commercially in the U.S. although the USDA has shown it to be downy mildew tolerant. In addition, it has a high concentration of myrcene which would lend itself beautifully to the dry-hopped American Pale Ales. Initially bred in the late 70’s from a Smooth Cone x Open Pollination, it was not released to the market until 1983. A while back it was said to no longer be in commercial production but Dutchess Hops of New York planted AlphAroma in 2013 so she may be making a comeback.
