Hops

Hops provide bitterness, flavor, and aroma to beer while also acting as a natural preservative. From classic noble hops to modern high-alpha varieties, each hop brings its own unique characteristics to the brewing process.

Southern Cross™

Used for first addition bittering this hop has no pretence at substitution for noble type. A kettle variety of the highest order Southern Cross imparts a soft bitterness with a subtle resinous quality. The essential oil component is such that it can deliver a delicate balance of citrus and spice when added toward the end of boil. Generally selected for its consistency in mainstream Lagers this hop has also ventured into the craft market as a reliable Brewpub mainstay.—NZ Hops Limited

Sovereign

With aromas described as floral, grassy and herbal with a hint of mint flavours. It has a wonderfully complex and relatively delicate set of aromas. Sovereign has a classic, well-rounded, green tea bittering characteristic. Increasingly well regarded, Sovereign works well as a single hop and is a wonderful hedgerow variety with a medium alpha acid range and wonderfully complex aroma. Bred from an open pollination made in 1995 at Horticulture Research International (HRI), Wye College in the UK and released in 2006, Sovereign is the granddaughter of Pioneer and works well with Goldings in British bitters and pale ales.—britishhops.org.uk
