Challenger
A fruity, almost scented aroma, with some spicy overtones, makes
this a versatile kettle hop for all types of beer. It blends
well with other English varieties and is sometimes used as a late hop
and dry hop, although full advantage is not then taken of its higher
Alpha acid content unless it is in a processed form.
