Flyer results from a cross made in 2002 between a high alpha-acid female breeding line and a low trellis-type male hop. Following promising results from advanced trial plots during 2007 and 2008, it was established on licensed farm trials with Wye Hops during 2009. The produce from the advanced plots was used for successful pilot brewing trials in 2010.
Flyer is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process.
A citrus hop with aromas of stoned fruits, licorice, treacle-toffee and caramel with slight burnt notes. Its bittering characteristics can best be described as spicy, citrus, liquorice and resinous.
