Lotus hops have a diverse parentage, including 50% Eastern Gold (a Japanese variety), 25% Apollo, Cascade, and USDA 19058.
Lotus is an aroma hop that is typically used in only late boil additions, including dry hopping.
Lotus is described as having orange, vanilla, berry, and tropical fruits and was jokingly called orange creamsicle. This is a proprietary hop from Hopsteiner formerly called Experimental #06297.
Some hops just taste better together. We recently analyzed [ 1 ] hundreds of the most popular beers to find which hops are commonly paired together. We found that Mandarina Bavaria , Citra & Idaho 7 hops are commonly used alongside the Lotus hop. This is not a complete list, but should give you a good idea of what hops are commonly used together.
