Nugget Hop (US) Pellets

Description

American Nugget hops were bred in 1970 to meet a growing demand for high-alpha hops, and remains one of the most widely cultivated varieties in Oregon hopyards. Its lineage includes Brewers Gold, Early Green, and Canterbury Goldings. Nugget was originally used just for bittering but are now widely used as a dual-purpose hop. The high oil levels let Nuggets' aromatic properties of mild spice and herbs with peach and pear shine through. Low cohumulone levels contribute smooth bitterness. It is a versatile hop that can be used in IPA, Barley Wine, ESB, and others beers.
