Comet

Comet was originally released as a high alpha by the USDA in 1974. Its parentage is English Sunshine and a native American hop giving it a wild American characteristic. Commercial production ceased in the 1980s in favor of newer super-alpha hops.

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

Comet hops have aroma descriptors that include subtle, wild American grassy and grapefruit.
