Ahtanum

Ahtanum was bred by Yakima Chief Ranches. Lineage is unknown except for the fact that it was open pollinated. It was released by YCR in 1997.

Ahtanum is an aroma hop that is typically used in only late boil additions, including dry hopping.

Ahtanum hops have aroma descriptors of citrus grapefruit and geranium and along with floral, piney and earth tones. Not as bitter as other hops, and used primarily for its aromatic properties.

Some hops just taste better together. We recently analyzed [ 1 ] hundreds of the most popular beers to find which hops are commonly paired together. We found that Amarillo , Simcoe , Chinook , Centennial & Cascade hops are commonly used alongside the Ahtanum hop. This is not a complete list, but should give you a good idea of what hops are commonly used together.
