Description

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

Melba hops have passion fruit, grapefruit, citrus and summery aroma characteristics. When used as an early addition, it is said to impart a clean and somewhat spicy bitterness. When used as a flavor or aroma addition though, properties of passion fruit, grapefruit and citrus come to the fore.
