Northern Brewer
Bred at Wye College from Northern Brewer in 1970 by crossing with a
Downy mildew resistant male. A hop with a very mild, clean,
neutral flavour which can be used in all types of beer, with no
harshness of palate, although the quality of bitterness it imparts can
be a little harder than Challenger. The high level of oil makes this a
very distinctive dry hop for full-bodied ales..
