Flavor & Aroma:  mint, pine and grass

Northern Brewer Hop Pellets have aroma descriptors that include mint, pine and grass.  Originally bred in England in 1934, Northern Brewer is a cross between Canterbury Golding and a male seedling of Brewer's Gold. It was originally grown in the North of England, but has become one of the main varieties in the Hallertau region of Germany. Northern Brewer displays pleasant pine and mint characteristics in dual purpose brewing applications.
