Description

Bullion was pollinated from a seedling of English Brewer's Gold a Wild Manitoba hop (BB1). It was a major variety throughout the mid-1940s, however commercial production ceased in 1985 due to newer varieties with higher alpha acid content and better storage stability.

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

Bullion hops have strong and zesty blackcurrant characteristics.
