Description

Developed in 2005 as a cross between Strisselspalt and a UK male, Bouclier is the most recent release from the French varietal research program. Its UK lineage includes Wye Challenger, Early Bird Golding and Northern Brewer.

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

Bouclier’ s combination of French and English aromas allows it to bring a French touch to English-style beers. It has aroma descriptors that include herbal, grass and spicy. Sometime referred to as "Shield".
