Description

The Admiral hop is a cross between Challenger and Northdown. It was bred by Wye College and released in 1998.

Admiral is a bittering hop that is commonly used only to bitter the beer during brewing, and not for too much flavor and aromas.

Admiral hops have aroma descriptors that include pleasant, resinous hop aroma with hints of citrus (orange) and herbal flavors. Its mild aroma characteristics make it suitable for late-hopping and dry hopping applications in combination with other varieties.
