PHOENIX |
|
| Brewing Quality |
In brewing trials Phoenix has performed well as a replacement for high alpha or dual purpose hops early in the boil. Late hop additions for aroma have tended to be disappointing with only very mellow aromas coming through. From early storage trials stability of the alpha acids in Phoenix are excellent. |

| Origin/History |
Phoenix is an early-ripening Wilt resistant dual-purpose variety (9 - 13% alpha) which was developed at Wye College at the same time as Admiral. It is a seedling of the high alpha variety Yeoman. |

| Agronomics |
Phoenix has a neat growth habit and hops down well. It produces good-sized cones that pick well with little waste. The variety has shown excellent resistance to Verticillium Wilt (even higher than that of Target) and ripens early to give the grower a variety that slots well into existing picking regimes. |
