Description

Cluster's pedigree is not known but it is possibly the result of a cross between an English variety and an American male hop. Cluster is one of the oldest hop varieties grown in the United States.

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

Cluster has specific aroma descriptors that include floral, earthy and sweet fruit. Cluster is an excellent dual-purpose hop and is often used in the reproduction of historical beer styles.
