Ahtanum Hops
Posted by

Hops
Ahtanum Hops are a hop variety to be used for the typical American hop aroma and flavor. Very citrusy and floral, it is a fine alternative to Cascade or Amarillo. From what I read, Ahtanum hops have less bitterness than Cascade so that might be something to keep in mind when crafting up a recipe…or altering an existing recipe.
Origin: USA -Yakima Chief Ranches
Aroma: Similar to Cascade or Amarillo - Citrus (Grapefruit) and Floral. Some woodsy, earthy notes too.
Alpha Acid: Usually between 5.7-6.3%
Typical Usage: Aroma for the most part. Some texts had it as a moderate bittering hop too.
Beer Styles: Pales, IPA, and a nice American Brown.
