Description

Mackinac was released from the GLH trials and breeding program in 2014.

Mackinac is an aroma hop that is typically used in only late boil additions, including dry hopping.

This super-aroma hop has proven to execute wide utility and flavorful new beer styles that are trending toward these aromas and flavors. The moderately low cohumulone offers brewers a smoother brewing profile with excellent foam characteristics. It has gained traction and praise across the United States since and has not only increased in demand but cannot be planted quickly enough to fulfill requests.
