Banner

Banner hops were bred from a Brewers Gold seedling in the early 1970s through open pollination. It was released in 1996 after Anheuser Busch decided to use it.

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

Banner is no longer in production. It had high alpha-acids and a pleasant aroma, but due to poor stability and disease susceptibility, it was never commercially viable.
