Description
Cekin's pedigree is aurora crossed with a tetraploid Yugoslav male 3/3.
Cekin is an aroma hop that is typically used in only late boil additions, including dry hopping.
Cekin, along with its sibling, Cicero, is not grown in large quantities. Cekin is said to have a pleasing, distinctive and continental aroma comparable to Styrian Golding. Very little Cekin is grown commercially due to lack of acceptance by breweries.
