Summit Hops

Summit Hops Summit Hop Pellet Profile Summit® hops were the first hop to be released by the ADHA back in 2003. It is a high Alpha Acid (16-19%) variety derived from Lexus, Zeus, Nugget, and some open pollination. Summit® is primarily used for bittering, but can contribute a very pungent aroma that is characterized by herbs and spices like black pepper and anise. Incredibly fresh Summit® often smells of onions and garlic(due to the high AA), but will dissipate after oxidizing for a day or so. Aroma/Flavor: Orange, tangerine, citrus notes – similar to Simcoe hopsTypical Usage: Bittering and Dry HoppingBeer Styles: IPAs, Imperial IPAsPedigree From Nugget crossed with the progeny of female Zeus and USDA malesAlpha Acids* 16.0 - 19.0 %Beta Acids 4.0 - 6.0 %Cohumulone 26 - 33 % of alpha acidsTotal Oil 1.5 - 2.5 ml/100gMyrcene 35 - 50 % of total oilHumulene 15 - 25 % of total oilCaryophyllene 10 - 15 % of total oilFarnesene < 1 % of total oil
