Notes:
Defender has an interesting heritage from a New Mexico Wild American female hop, an Eastwell Golding, and various other English hops. However, Defender’s very low alpha content and a high alpha/beta ratio, along with its low yield potential has caused it to be discontinued from commercial production, although it might have promise in breeding use. It is said to have a pleasant, European-style aroma, and a high humulene content.
