Notes:
Since the Japanese government wants to reduce imported hops, Kirin II has been brewed solely under government contract. Kirin II was developed by the Kirin Brewery Company, LTD in Tokyo, from a Saazer with a White Vine-open pollination. It has a very high yield (up to 2500 lbs per acre) and a very good storability, retaining 70% of its alpha acid content after 6 months at room temperature. It is a dual-use hop with low humulene content.
