| UK HOP |
HERALD |
|
| Brewing Quality |
Still in the very early stages of production very few beers have been produced from this hop but in brewing trials, the flavour and bittering balance has been found very acceptable. This variety will be excellent as a substitute for dual-purpose or high alpha varieties in all types of beer and particularly useful as a replacement for Target where Target is found to have too harsh a bitterness. In aroma terms Herald produces a well-rounded gentle grapefruit/citrus flavour. |
