HBC 586 T-90 Hop Pellets - 2oz
Description
US HBC 586 T90 Hop Pellets, 2 oz sealed package
This is an experimental variety courtesy of the Hop Breeding Company and is a joint venture between Yakima Chief and John I. Haas Co. This new variety is a result of a hybrid pollination between the mother, YCR 21 and Male #01239-2. I would say that I would feel objectified if I were just a number like that male hop plant, but men always love to be objectified as breeding studs, so I'm ok with it!
Usage
Although we'll put this hop through it's paces as both a bittering and aroma variety, judging by the higher cohumulone levels and terp profile, it's likely better as a late addition hop.
We'll update this blog as soon as we actually brew a single hop beer. Total oils seem nice and high, alphas are moderate to high, and betas moderately high. Once we have the single hop beer done, we'll have a great baseline on flavor, aroma and balance and will be able to recommend hop pairings and what other varieties would work well with this new hop.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of HBC 586 has been described as a large medley of fruit flavors, including guava, mango, lychee and citrus. It may contribute slight sulfur and herbal tones. We are expecting some light melon characteristics judging by the smell.
