Description
The original German-grown Magnum was released in 1980 and hails from the German Hop Institute in Hull.
Magnum (US) is a bittering hop that is commonly used only to bitter the beer during brewing, and not for too much flavor and aromas.
US Magnum is a bittering hop with an excellent bittering profile and a nice, hoppy, floral aroma and subtle characters of citrus.
