Description

Bramling Cross is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process.

Bramling Cross hops have aroma descriptors that include strong spice, blackcurrant, loganberry and lemon. It is often used in traditional cask conditioned beers due to its distinct characteristics.
