Northdown hops were developed at Wye College in 1970 as offspring of Northern Brewer and Challenger and an aunt to Target.
Northdown is a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process.
Northdown hops have aroma descriptors that include pleasant spice, cedar and pine characteristics with hints of floral and berry flavors. It is known for its fresh, yet rich flavor.
