Description

Bravo's lineage includes Zeus crossed with a male (98004 x USDA 19058m). It was released in 2006.

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

The Bravo hops have aroma descriptors include orange, vanilla and floral. It is an excellent bittering variety and can provide pleasant fruit and sweet floral aroma characteristics in some applications.

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 Mosaic hops are commonly used alongside the Bravo hop. This is not a complete list, but should give you a good idea of what hops are commonly used together.
